How It Feels

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

A graceful, intimate portrait of one of America's greatest writers that captures both the expansiveness of her vision and the private person behind the prose. Didion's own voice and thinking shape the film as much as the archival footage and Griffin Dunne's steady devotion.
