How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliriously funny nightmare that dissolves the boundaries between dream and reality, trapping elegant bourgeois dinner guests in an elaborate trap of their own social pretensions. Buñuel's anarchic comedy spirals outward with each failed dinner attempt, leaving you uncertain what's happening, but entertained the whole way.
