How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A stylish, violent fever dream of ambition and contradiction, a crime boss trying to play Robin Hood while the city tears itself apart. Sleek and operatic, it's less interested in moral clarity than in the intoxicating myth of charismatic authority.
