How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A languid summer idyll curdles into psychological unease as desire and jealousy circulate among four people trapped in paradise. The film luxuriates in the sensuality of its setting before slowly poisoning it with tension and ambiguous threat.
