How It Feels

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

A meticulously composed descent into psychological claustrophobia where an apartment building becomes a pressure chamber of suspicion and unreality. Polanski's precise, detached direction transforms mundane domestic anxieties into an inescapable nightmare.
