How It Feels

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

A gruff French cop returns to Japan chasing ghosts of an old love, colliding with yakuza and his own unexamined brutality. It's pitch-black comedy wrapped around genuine longing and casual cruelty.
