Another film that I have, up to this point, never gotten around to watching.
AMAZING film! I’m almost angry that I’ve waited this long.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately provocative inversion of beauty and monstrosity that uses the language of horror not to scare but to interrogate cruelty and judgment. Watching it now means grappling with both its transgressive 1932 politics and its genuine moral clarity about who the real villains are.
