How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A silent masterpiece that finds profound humanity and laugh-out-loud comedy in Depression-era desperation, where a lovable vagrant's eternal optimism collides with an indifferent industrial machine. It's both achingly tender and wildly funny, a film that makes you smile and ache simultaneously.
