How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A fever dream collision between pulp noir and psychological breakdown, where a bedridden writer's fever hallucinations and his own detective fiction become dangerously indistinguishable. Darkly comedic, visually wild, and deeply strange.
