How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A caustic, deliberately outrageous satire that piles on institutional chaos, social decay, and grotesque spectacle with gleeful disregard for taste or coherence. It's a fever dream of British institutional failure that swings wildly between the mundane and the absurd.
