How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping romantic tapestry set in theatrical 19th-century Paris, where a mime's silent devotion to an enigmatic woman becomes entangled with the desires of men from wildly different worlds. It's a film about the impossibility of love and the masks we wear, both on stage and in life.
