What a weird and wacky film! That cast, though!
(I dunno, but I think I kind of really liked it.)

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliriously strange collision of body horror, cosmic mythology, and 1970s paranoia that lurches between incomprehensible set pieces with an earnest, almost operatic conviction. It's bewildering and hypnotic in equal measure, a film that doesn't quite cohere but absolutely commands your attention.
