How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately downbeat portrait of a man trapped between social shame and quiet desperation, where surface improvement only deepens internal decay. Fassbinder finds tragic irony in the gap between how a life looks to others and what it feels like to live it.
