How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping historical drama about intellectual ambition and forbidden love set against the collapse of pagan Alexandria, where personal desires clash violently with ideological upheaval. Lush and operatic, it watches as brilliance cannot protect against the tide of history.
