How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A brooding portrait of a man whose grip on absolute authority masks a desperate personal isolation and deep shame. The film traces how the gap between public myth and private truth becomes a prison of its own.
