How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A cold, methodical revenge thriller steeped in French noir atmosphere, where a wronged man stalks the killer the law failed to punish. Spare and darkly compelling, it's a study in obsession and the corrosive weight of injustice.
