How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dizzying, playful hall of mirrors where Beat Takeshi the director collapses into the film itself, exploring the gap between the persona and the person through increasingly surreal episodes. It's metafictional comedy that gets stranger and more introspective as it spirals.
