How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A delirious vaudeville fever dream where the plot barely matters and the comedians constantly break the fourth wall to drag you into their controlled chaos. It's pure theatrical anarchy transplanted to film, bursting with slapstick, musical numbers, and the gleeful destruction of any pretense at narrative coherence.
