How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
Godard constructs a fractured, provocative collage that intercuts the Rolling Stones' relentless studio performance with vignettes of social unrest and cultural chaos, creating an experience that feels as much like witnessing a fever dream of late-1960s upheaval as watching a film.
