How It Feels

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

A four-minute descent into a woman's nightmare where the alphabet itself becomes grotesque and alive. Hypnotic and profoundly uncanny.

I can't tell what is going on but I love it, the music is also lovely and the horror way of course.
I love how lynch plays with imagery in this one and I just wished he got to make one last film this or last decade but sadly the world said "no"
