How It Feels

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

A gently absurdist celebration of a fictional genius who never was, presented with deadpan affection through mockumentary form. It's a love letter to the idea of reinvention and the joy of elaborate, pointless invention.
