How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A silent melodrama that strips away the pious mask of corruption, watching with grim inevitability as a charismatic villain systematically ruins those who trust him. Heavy with moral darkness and the crushing consequences of exposure to predatory power.
