How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A morally grimy portrait of how good intentions curdle into ruthless ambition and casual cruelty in the machinery of politics. The film is absorbed in watching power corrupt from the inside, with little redemption on offer.
