How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting dream-logic exploration of a woman's secret inner life, where Buñuel weaves fantasy and reality so seamlessly that you're never quite sure which world you're inhabiting. It's both sensual and deeply unnerving, a portrait of desire that remains coolly detached even as it probes the deepest contradictions of the human heart.
