How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly surreal fairy tale about grief and delusion that starts as tender fantasy and gradually curdles into something genuinely disturbing. Švankmajer's stop-motion grotesquerie makes the impossible feel unnerving rather than magical.
