How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow, unglamorous portrait of an aging yakuza struggling to rebuild a life after 13 years inside, caught between the man he was and the man society expects him to become. It's a meditation on whether a person can truly escape their past.
