How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visceral, maximalist collision between cops and criminals in neon-soaked Tokyo, shot with anarchic style and balletic brutality. It's less a traditional crime narrative than a raw sensory assault, propulsive, uncompromising, and intoxicating.
