How It Feels

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

A gloriously peculiar Soviet-Czechoslovak adaptation that treats Jules Verne's inventions and adventure with deadpan earnestness, blending stop-motion spectacle with elaborate practical effects into a fever dream of Victorian-era gadgetry and danger. It's the kind of film that feels like stepping into a brass-and-steam-powered fever dream, where the visual imagination wildly outpaces the budget.
