How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A delicate, aching portrait of two vulnerable people finding solace in each other across a chasm of social prejudice and violence. Griffith's expressive silent filmmaking transforms a simple love story into a meditation on cruelty and compassion in a merciless world.
