How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dreamy, visually intoxicating journey through three darkly fantastical tales told inside the walls of a wax museum, where the act of storytelling and desire become one. German Expressionism at its most playfully macabre.
