How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliriously weird fever dream about an awkward young man trying to build wings inside a sports stadium, where surrealism and dark comedy spiral into something genuinely disorienting. Altman's directorial debut is a candy-colored carnival of escalating strangeness that treats its protagonist's murderous impulses as punchlines.
