How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A provocative examination of desire, race, and social transgression that builds emotional and racial tension as it traces the ruptures an affair creates across multiple lives in 1991 New York. Spike Lee's film refuses easy answers, instead capturing the frustration and pain that comes when attraction collides with the weight of history and community expectation.
