How It Feels

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

A haunting, psychologically dense film about the inescapable grip of trauma and perverse attachment, where history literally hunts the present. It's morally and emotionally vertiginous, a film that provokes discomfort as its own artistic purpose.
