How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gonzo spoof of detective fiction that gleefully demolishes mystery-novel conventions through anarchic humor and escalating absurdity. It's designed to make you laugh at the very idea of whodunits, not to solve one.
