How It Feels

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

A nightmarish parable disguised as a salon comedy: impeccably dressed guests discover themselves trapped in a room by nothing but invisible, inexplicable force, and watch their civilized veneers crack under the weight of confinement. Buñuel's surreal indictment of bourgeois pretension unfolds with deadpan logic.
