How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleefully transgressive, anarchic dark comedy that unfolds like a fever dream in a dystopian hellhole ruled by fascist eccentricity. It's crude, shocking, and uncompromisingly hostile to good taste, a punk-rock middle finger to normalcy that dares you to laugh at its own depravity.
