How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly comic descent into the claustrophobic madness of mid-century Hollywood, where artistic pretension meets psychological unraveling. It's a portrait of creative compromise and existential decay wrapped in neo-noir atmosphere and surreal dread.
