How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A whirlwind Cold War farce that uses the Berlin Wall's looming construction as the backdrop for increasingly chaotic comedic collisions between capitalism and communism. Wilder keeps the chaos escalating at breakneck speed, finding absurdity in the political and personal stakes alike.
