How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dizzyingly surreal Czech fantasy-comedy where water spirits scheme to drown a bureaucrat, but complications of the heart and sheer supernatural chaos keep derailing their plans. It's a film that delights in its own illogical whimsy.
