How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut 1950s thriller about the psychological toll of living a double life as an FBI informant inside the Communist Party. The film renders paranoia and moral compromise in sharp noir shadows, where the operative's deepest relationships become his cover, and his torment.
