How It Feels

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

A provocative game of cat-and-mouse between a cop and a writer that blurs the line between arrest and seduction, unfolding in a single night of psychological intensity. The film mines eroticism and danger from an impossible attraction built on coercion and defiance.
