How It Feels

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

A scathing, pitch-black comedy that uses death rituals and the funeral industry as a lens for skewering American commercialism and Hollywood pretension. Watching it feels like being invited into an elaborate joke at the expense of nearly everyone on screen.
