How It Feels

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

A restless portrait of self-delusion and parasitism in the margins of the punk underground, where one woman's magnetic neediness corrodes everyone around her. It's a visceral, uncomfortable watch that captures the energy and damage of that scene with unflinching clarity.
