How It Feels

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

A daydreaming housewife's increasingly wild fantasies offer a playful yet pointed escape from the constraints of domestic life and her neglectful marriage. Equal parts surreal comedy and genuine longing, it's a strange and liberating ride.
