How It Feels

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

A playfully cerebral puzzle-box where two voices debate the hidden meanings in a series of paintings while you watch the scenes come alive around a wandering narrator. It's more about the pleasure of interpretation than arriving at answers.
