How it feels

This is a 1963 anthology film with four segments by different directors. One segment follows a man who feels detached and disturbed by the media-saturated modern world. Another satirizes consumer culture by observing a family's obsession with a high-tech chicken farm. A third tells the story of a poor man hired to pose as a saint in a religious film, leading to conflict. The fourth segment involves a flight attendant who fends off an unwanted suitor's advances with an unusual solution.
