How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting meditation on memory and desire that uses medical school as a staging ground for one man's escalating fixation on a corpse. Slow-burning and deeply uncomfortable, it explores the gap between attraction and reality.
