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 of Western gunplay and political thriller that uses anachronism and gore to indict American imperial ambition. Alex Cox turns a historical mercenary's coup into a scathing, deliberately disorienting portrait of colonial opportunism.
