How It Feels

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

A sharp, atmospheric thriller about a man who takes a croupier job to fund his novel but finds himself inexorably drawn into the casino's seductive pull. It's a meditation on complicity and self-deception, with the gambling table as a mirror for life's illusions.
