How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A fevered, claustrophobic night on a Mexican coast where a fallen priest confronts the wreckage of his faith and desires, trapped between respectability and ruin. The film moves at the tempo of confession, with long scenes of bare emotional reckoning that feel less like plot and more like a man turning his damage over in his hands.
