How It Feels

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

A deadpan, deeply uncomfortable mockumentary where a filmmaker's intrusion into an ordinary family's life becomes increasingly grotesque and dehumanizing. The comedy comes not from jokes but from watching the seams of the performance rupture as reality warps under the weight of constant documentation.
