How It Feels

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

A lushly composed Victorian romance that slowly curdles into psychological horror as intimacy reveals rot at the heart of an aristocratic household. The seduction is elegant until it isn't, then the film becomes a study of complicity and the illusions we construct to survive.
