How It Feels

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

A haunting meditation on loss and inevitability wrapped in Japanese folklore, where ethereal beauty becomes a prison. Watching it feels like witnessing something precious slip away between your fingers, frame by exquisite frame.
