How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A rollicking, music-soaked odyssey through Depression-era Mississippi that treats ancient mythology and modern haplessness with equal reverence. Three bumbling convicts stumble through a world of seduction, deception, and cosmic absurdity, all set to a bluegrass soundtrack that feels as essential as the story itself.
