How It Feels

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

A gleeful, wordless romp through Hollywood that delights in the sheer mechanics of slapstick and the absurdity of making art in a system designed to commodify it. It's Mel Brooks at his most playful, turning the camera itself into a pratfall.
