How It Feels

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

A luminous, formally inventive 13-minute meditation on industrial production and plastic manufacturing that finds unexpected beauty in the mechanical and the mundane. Resnais transforms an industrial commission into something genuinely poetic, where the rhythm of factories becomes art.
