How It Feels

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

A hallucinatory descent into brutality and metaphysical anguish, where a silent warrior's escape becomes a fever dream navigating the boundaries between civilization and primal horror. Visually stunning but uncompromisingly harsh, rewarding viewers patient with ambiguity and willing to sit with discomfort.
