How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A wickedly funny send-up of 1950s spy thrillers that treats every spy-movie cliché with deadpan absurdity and impeccable comic timing. It's James Bond run through a funhouse mirror, where the plotting is deliberately ridiculous and the delivery is completely straight-faced.
