How It Feels

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

A haunting exploration of consciousness and reality in which the ground beneath characters' feet becomes increasingly unreliable. The film pulls you into a vertigo of nested realities and paranoia, asking what it means to exist when existence itself is in question.
