How It Feels

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

A hypnotic meditation on innocence confronting darkness, told through long, painterly shots and dreamlike narrative that accumulates dread like approaching storm clouds. The arrival of a mysterious circus becomes the catalyst for philosophical reckoning with human capacity for violence and upheaval.
