How It Feels

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

A stylized and deliberately provocative portrait of a young man channeling romantic longing and spiritual confusion into violence and radical ideology. Oshima transforms what could be melodrama into a jagged, comic meditation on the roots of fascism.
