Feeling It

About This Movie

Feeling It is a raw and unfiltered look at Joaquín Sabina, peeling back the layers of the celebrated singer-songwriter. Shot over 13 years, director Fernando León de Aranoa captures those quiet moments where Sabina steps away from the public eye—no bowler hat, just the man. It’s got this gritty, almost nocturnal vibe, the kind that feels both intimate and revealing. The pacing meanders like Sabina's own storytelling, sometimes lingering on the details that matter. There's a palpable tension, a sense of malice, really, that underpins his reflections. The practical effects here are more about the realness of life rather than flashy filmmaking. It’s about the artist in the shadows, and that’s what makes it distinctive. Plus, the music? Just adds to the whole package.
