How It Feels

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

A simmering, morally complex exploration of how trauma and the pursuit of vengeance corrode a marriage and a man's sense of self. Haneke-like in its refusal to offer easy catharsis, The Salesman watches quietly as ordinary people navigate impossible circumstances in a society that offers them little recourse.
