How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply unsettling investigation into cruelty and complicity in a closed community, where mysterious acts of violence expose the repressive violence already woven into everyday life. The film methodically uncovers how authoritarian control breeds the darkness beneath a village's surface.
