How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A methodical intellectual thriller set in a claustrophobic medieval monastery where theological debate and murder mystery intertwine. This is a film for patient viewers willing to sit with ambiguity and the weight of historical corruption.
