How It Feels

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

A hallucinogenic descent into the fractured psyche of a young man unraveling under familial pressure and societal alienation. Deliberately disorienting and formally experimental, this is cinema as psychological immersion rather than narrative comfort.
