How It Feels

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

Bergman's visually sumptuous filmmaking merges with Mozart's transcendent score to create a dreamlike meditation on love and transformation. The magic flute becomes a journey inward as much as outward, rendered in theatrical, enchanted tableaux.
