How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly witty dissection of political ambition and manipulation, where a charming schemer systematically dismantles his rivals from within. You watch a master tactician play chess with human beings, and the thrill comes from seeing just how far he'll go and who he'll sacrifice.
