How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A brutally observant portrait of hunger and desperation dressed up as romance, where a lottery win becomes a trap rather than salvation. Fassbinder refuses sentiment, instead laying bare how desire and poverty can render someone utterly exploitable.
