How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A Depression-era melodrama about a man trapped between genuine love and marital duty, where a scheming wife weaponizes propriety and desperation against both. It's a taut, emotionally barbed study of how desire and social obligation can become a prison.
