How It Feels

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

A hallucinatory descent into a child's desperation, rendered in stark black-and-white animation that feels like being trapped inside a fever dream. Pina Bausch's surreal parable transforms the hunger for parental love into something grotesque and deeply unsettling.
