How It Feels

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

A dizzy romantic farce set in Parisian sin, where a smitten cop's well-intentioned deception spirals into increasingly absurd complications. It's a film that treats its premise with theatrical charm while never quite hiding the melancholy underneath.
