Opens May 3 | Thirty-something New Yorker Ann is stuck: her job is unremarkable, her family is impossible, and her on-again-off-again casual BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism) relationship with an older man is unsatisfying. In Joanna Arnow’s excruciatingly funny feature debut, Ann (played by Arnow in an assured and no-holds-barred performance) takes an honest inventory of her life, resulting in a witty and sardonic portrait of modern-day malaise. Making its Chicago premiere after premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, THE FEELING THAT… introduces a distinct new voice and shrewdly lays bare truths regarding  the human condition—in and out of the bedroom. Film Center exclusive.
