How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sumptuous period romance that follows competing desires and thwarted loves against the backdrop of Napoleon's rise and fall. It's a elegantly crafted story of passion, duty, and the personal costs of historical ambition.
