How It Feels

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

A searing chronicle of how idealism curdles into tyranny, following a charismatic demagogue's meteoric rise to political power and the moral compromise of everyone in his orbit. It's a relentless portrait of ambition's rotting core.
