How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A delightfully oddball period comedy where a eccentric inventor's castle becomes a stage for elaborate mechanical tricks and bizarre experimentation. It's steampunk lunacy wrapped in Gothic atmosphere, played with deadpan sincerity.
