How It Feels

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

A dizzying, labyrinthine descent into an old manuscript that unfolds like a fever dream, layer upon layer of nested stories that blur reality, superstition, and ancestral history into something mesmerizing and genuinely uncanny.
