How It Feels

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

A spaghetti western that cheerfully upends the genre's machismo by centering a poetry-loving, bicycle-riding pacifist who must learn to survive the Wild West. It's a gently absurd fish-out-of-water comedy that finds humor in the clash between refinement and frontier brutality.
