How It Feels

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

A haunting portrait of desire and disconnection set in a theme park of cultural simulacra, where intimate human drama unfolds against a backdrop of fabricated worlds. The film observes its characters' longings with patient, almost anthropological detachment, creating an atmosphere where emotional betrayal feels as hollow and manufactured as the monuments surrounding them.
