How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A propulsive documentary that captures the obsessive dedication and psychological gamesmanship behind elite bodybuilding, balancing the spectacle of muscle with the very human hunger for dominance. It's a surprisingly compelling portrait of ambition made physical.
