How It Feels

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

A towering, emotionally baroque exploration of envy and artistic ambition set against the glittering veneer of 18th-century Vienna. Salieri's slow descent into madness as he witnesses Mozart's genius is as sumptuous and devastating as the music itself.
