How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A languid, elegiac portrait of four drifters finding temporary connection in the Nevada desert, where romance blooms against the backdrop of a fading way of life. The film moves with the rhythm of its characters' uncertainty, beautiful and aching, never quite settling into happiness.
