How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sweeping, grand melodrama where romantic devotion and show-business dreams collide with the cruel machinery of Hollywood and the slow deterioration of addiction. It's a film about the price of stardom told with all the emotional intensity of a Technicolor tragedy.
