How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A hypnotic collision between criminal brutality and decadent rock-star excess that dissolves the boundary between performance and reality. Visually baroque and psychologically destabilizing, it moves like a fever dream wrapped in noir.
