How It Feels

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

A descent into the raw, unsparing life of a self-destructive alcoholic poet in Los Angeles, painted with surrealist flourishes that blur the line between reality and intoxicated delirium. This is unflinching, uncomfortable viewing, a portrait of addiction as both artistic despair and human dissolution.
