How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A washed-up baseball star gets one last shot at glory in Japan, mixing fish-out-of-water comedy with the genuine drama of an aging athlete fighting irrelevance. It's equal parts goofy cultural collision and surprisingly tender character study.
