How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A pre-Code morality tale that's actually a celebration of feminine cunning and survival, where a woman weaponizes desire to escape poverty, only to discover that social climbing doesn't guarantee fulfillment. It's bracingly cynical about gender and power dynamics while remaining buoyant and playful.
