How It Feels

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

A Brechtian musical that treats the criminal underworld and high society as mirrors of each other, performed with theatrical stylization and cynical wit. It's caustic, clever, and unapologetically designed to provoke rather than seduce you.
