How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A hypnotic descent into physical and psychological entrapment, where the relentless texture of sand becomes both prison and strange intimacy. This is art cinema that unsettles as it seduces.
