How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting German Expressionist masterwork where a protective creature becomes an ambiguous threat. The distorted angles and stark shadows transform Prague's Jewish ghetto into a fever dream of anxiety and precarity.
