How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quietly devastating portrait of a man so desperate for tenderness that he mistakes predatory exploitation for romance. Renoir's camera observes with almost unbearable empathy as a simple man descends into ruin.
