How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A dazzling collage of avant-garde visions sewn together by a deceptively simple story about a man selling dreams. Watching it feels like stepping through doorways into the subconscious, each more strange and artfully disorienting than the last.
