How It Feels

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

A darkly comic scavenger's tale through a ravaged American desert that treats its bleak post-apocalyptic world with equal parts grittiness and surreal, transgressive humor. Harlan Ellison's adaptation is uneasy and provocative, both a buddy story and something far stranger.
