How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A peculiar Italian fable about an ordinary man granted an extraordinary and terrible power, delivered with a touch of dark comedy and moral uncertainty. The film treats its fantastical premise with a gentle, philosophical hand, asking what we would do with the power to judge and execute.
