How It Feels

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

A character study of artistic ambition twisted into destructive obsession, following a filmmaker's descent as his safari fixation eclipses everything, including the film he came to make. It's a meditation on ego and the price of singular vision.
