How It Feels

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

A darkly comic portrait of suburban repression and eccentricity in 1960s Netherlands, where a gallery of oddball neighbors nurse their private obsessions behind closed doors. It's wickedly funny and deeply strange, with the comedy rooted in the claustrophobic oddness of small-town life.
