How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deadpan sci-fi farce where Martian invaders prove less dangerous than the bureaucratic machinery that co-opts them. It's a wild, satirical ride through propaganda and absurdist politics played with unsettling matter-of-factness.
