How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A man descends into the labyrinth of Paris' underworld searching for his vanished wife, caught between bureaucratic indifference and the opacity of a foreign city where nothing is as it seems. Polanski's thriller builds dread through isolation and the slow erosion of certainty.
