How It Feels

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

A sharp satire of American excess and the fantasy of dropping out, following a couple's misguided attempt to escape their white-collar lives with increasingly chaotic results. It's both a comedy of errors and a pointed critique of the gap between counterculture dreams and yuppie reality.
