How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A stylish, comedic romp through a 1950s jazz underworld where the mystery matters less than the absurd characters and improvisational chaos you meet along the way. It's a self-aware pastiche that plays detective story as jazz riff, embracing digression and whimsy over plot clarity.
