How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gorgeously stylized operatic reverie where a poet's heartbreak unfolds across three impossible loves, each more fantastical than the last. The film moves like a dream, dwelling in sumptuous visuals and soaring music rather than plot momentum.
