How It Feels

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

A nightmarish fable about bodily autonomy violated by medical science, following a man whose attempt to cure himself becomes a descent into machine-controlled madness. Watching it means witnessing someone progressively consumed by forces he can't control.
