How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A whimsical French comedy about a man who discovers the ultimate luxury of doing absolutely nothing after his domineering wife's sudden death. It's a gently anarchic celebration of laziness and liberation.
