How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A locked-room whodunit that treats its surrealist artists as both suspects and unreliable narrators, playing with genre expectations as much as the painters played with reality. The mansion becomes a stage where genius and madness blur together, and you're never quite sure if you're watching a murder mystery or a fever dream.
