How It Feels

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

A charming rom-com that playfully collapses the boundary between a writer's fictional romance and his real-life attraction to his typist. It's a light, inventive meditation on how life and art blur when you're falling in love.
