How It Feels

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

A haunting meditation on artistic persecution and the refuge found in imagination, where a censored writer's world gradually bleeds into the novel he creates as an act of defiance. As the boundaries between fiction and reality dissolve, so does his grip on what remains true.
