How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately paced dark comedy that strips away dignity alongside pretense, following one man's nightmarish bureaucratic odyssey through an indifferent healthcare system as his condition worsens. It's both painfully funny and genuinely agonizing, a study in human suffering framed through dark humor.
