How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A writer literally inhabits the melodramatic world of his own creation, blurring the line between fiction and reality with escalating absurdist comedy. It's a thinly-veiled allegory about creative control wrapped in a screwball fantasy.
