How Does It Feel

About This Movie

So, 'How Does It Feel' is one of those peculiar documentaries that really leans into the abstract. You’ve got this stark hotel room setting, right? It sets a very intimate and almost surreal tone. The film plays out through these wordless actions, which allows it to experiment with silence and movement. The handmade sweater, inspired by a dream, feels like a personal touch amidst the odd props—a light-up motorized winter scene, replica jewelry that’s so specific yet holds this weight of nostalgia. There's a disconnection between the objects and their meanings. It’s not your typical narrative, but that’s what makes it distinctive. Pacing is very meditative, almost like a visual poem, which you either get lost in or struggle to engage with.
