How It Feels

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

A paranoid techno-thriller where sound itself becomes a weapon of control, exploring the sinister potential of invisible manipulation hidden in everyday muzak. It's a sharp, defiant provocation about corporate power and autonomy that crackles with late-80s underground energy.
