How It Feels

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

An unflinching, deliberately provocative portrait of stunted lives in a dead town where nothing works and nobody leaves. Gummo is aggressively unpleasant in its humor and imagery, less a conventional narrative than a descent into the surreal degradation of American poverty.
