How It Feels

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

A sumptuous 1930s whodunit that treats murder as a puzzle to be elegantly solved amid Art Deco grandeur and exotic settings. The film glides between suspects with the unhurried pacing of a luxury cruise, building intrigue through character observation rather than frantic plot mechanics.
