How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A spirited martial arts adventure that blends wuxia legend with a coming-of-age story, following an American fan transported into the mythological world he idolizes. It's a gleefully earnest celebration of kung-fu cinema, with elaborate action sequences and a ragtag crew of warriors on a quest to save a legendary figure.
