How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately absurd and theatrical romp through pirate adventure, where the spectacle and slapstick matter far more than plot coherence. It's a film that revels in its own farcical energy and practically invites you not to take it seriously.
