How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleeful, anarchic romp through human history told in rapid-fire sketches that treat humanity's most solemn moments as punchlines. It's theatrical, crude, and relentlessly committed to the bit.
