How It Feels

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

A lovingly assembled scrapbook of how six brilliant misfits collided to create something utterly strange and influential, told through their own reflections and archive treasures. It's less a conventional documentary and more a celebration of creative chaos, friendship, and the peculiar alchemy that made them legendary.
