How It Feels

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

Two bewildered men trapped in a play-within-a-play grapple with free will and inevitability through loops of philosophical banter and darkly comic misadventure. It's a tender, mind-bending meditation on powerlessness dressed up as a vaudeville routine.
