How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A prisoner-wins-the-lottery-and-goes-after-the-warden premise that plays absurdist comedy out of the collision between desperation and petty bureaucracy. It's a romp built on ridiculous stakes and the kind of escalating chaos that comes from one man's determined pursuit of what's rightfully his.
