How It Feels

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

A mordant satire of Hollywood power dynamics where a studio executive's casual cruelty catches up with him through an increasingly sinister game of cat-and-mouse. Darkly funny and paranoid, it's a insider's laugh at the machinery of filmmaking itself.
