How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A buoyant, sprawling comedy spectacle celebrating human ingenuity and international rivalry in the early age of aviation, populated by vivid national stereotypes and slapstick schemes. Watching it feels like stepping into a colorful carnival of nostalgia, where the joy is in the elaborate chaos as much as the eventual race.
