How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately uncomfortable comedy that finds dark humor in watching a man's life disintegrate through alcoholism and professional humiliation. It's a clown film that refuses to be funny in any conventional sense.
