How It Feels

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

A delightfully surreal, candy-colored reimagining of a classic tale where grotesque production design and committed performance transform a story about isolation and transformation into something visually wild and oddly tender. It's less about plot and more about wallowing in the absurdity of Whoville itself.
