How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A love letter to the magic of B-movies and theatrical showmanship, watching as a charismatic promoter turns a moment of genuine Cold War anxiety into an unforgettable spectacle for a small Florida town. It's a film that finds joy in artifice and celebrates the power of cinema to transform reality.
