How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tender but devastating love story set against the glittering brutality of the music industry, where devotion cannot save someone determined to destroy themselves. You watch two people orbit each other as their trajectories diverge, hers ascending, his spiraling, and the ache of their inability to save each other becomes the film's true subject.
