How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A wickedly funny tale of social climbing and vengeance set in 19th-century Paris, where a spurned spinster and a cunning courtesan team up to destroy those who wronged them. It's Machiavellian scheming wrapped in elegant costumes and cutting barbs.
