How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A period drama that channels the visual splendor of feudal Japan to examine the destructive weight of desire and duty. Sumptuous and emotionally intense, it's a meditation on what passion costs when it collides with obligation.
