How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visually stunning odyssey through West African landscapes that feels as much like a spiritual ritual as a narrative film, blending myth-time pacing with intimate confrontations between kinship and sorcery.
