How It Feels

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

A sharp examination of how a singular artist's pain and vision became fractured into countless cultural symbols, commodified and reinterpreted across identity groups and markets. The film asks what happens when an icon escapes its maker and belongs to everyone and no one at once.
