How it feels

The film is about a man who is suicidal. He talks directly to the camera in monologues that seem to reveal his thoughts, but the images and scenes around him create uncertainty about what is really true.

What happens

He is a 2012 Irish experimental film directed by Rouzbeh Rashidi, starring James Devereaux as the main character. The film is about a troubling and mysterious portrait of a suicidal man.
