How It Feels

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

A darkly comic fever dream blurring the line between Chuck Barris's real life as a TV impresario and his alleged secret life as a CIA hitman, a story so outlandish you're never quite sure what's true. The film embraces the unreliability with playful irreverence, making you complicit in not knowing whether you're watching confession or delusion.
