How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A ferociously inventive surrealist provocation where institutional forces, church, family, society itself, become surreal obstacles to desire. Buñuel's scatological wit and dreamlike logic make crushing repression feel darkly comic and deliriously strange.
