How It Feels

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

A wildly surreal comedy that plays like a comic book fever dream, where a ghetto folk hero speaks in nonsensical rhymes and battles evil corporations with his magical belt. It's earnestly ridiculous and completely committed to its own bizarre logic.
