How It Feels

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

A deliriously meta thriller where filmmakers pitch a crime story to each other aboard a train, blurring the line between their imagined narrative and the reality around them into something gorgeously disorienting.
