How It Feels

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

A delirious, meandering journey that blends slapstick comedy with genuine pathos, as a jaded filmmaker is dragged through increasingly surreal Spanish countryside by a delusional old man. It's a film about filmmaking that feels itself like a fever dream, balancing between absurdist humor and real reckoning with past sins.
