How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A tense political thriller that scrutinizes ambition, principle, and the hidden vulnerabilities of powerful men in Cold War Washington. The machinery of power is shown to grind through personal lives with ruthless indifference.
