How It Feels

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

A portrait of a groundbreaking artist who rises to stardom in Belle Époque Paris, only to be undone by institutional racism and personal excess. Beneath the comedy and spectacle lies a melancholic examination of what fame costs when the system is rigged against you.
