How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grand, shadow-drenched morality play where towering sets and distorted angles mirror the spiritual turmoil of a man tempted by forces beyond his control. Murnau's visual inventiveness transforms a medieval legend into a hypnotic meditation on desire, consequence, and the price of transcendence.
