How It Feels

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

A darkly comic crime caper set in Taipei's underworld, where the collision between a vanished businessman's debts and his gang-leader son creates a tangle of absurd violence and unlikely alliances. It's both brutal and wickedly funny, like watching chaos unfold at high speed with a wink and a nudge.
