How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sharp, darkly comic portrait of a woman suffocating in her marriage who seeks freedom in an affair, only to discover that swapping one controlling man for another offers no real escape. It's a 1970s critique of women's limited choices wrapped in a tragicomic domestic spiral.
