How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dizzying descent through the neon-soaked nightlife of 1980s Manhattan, where moments of exhilaration and glamour are undercut by the hollow ache of loss and self-destruction. It's an intimate portrait of someone spiraling, told with the disorienting energy of the spiral itself.
