How It Feels

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

A gloriously surreal clay-animated romp through pre-Revolutionary France that treats bodily autonomy, censorship, and political upheaval as cosmic jokes. Equal parts lowbrow sex comedy and high-minded metaphor, it delights in intellectual perversity.
