A famous singer Claire Lescot, who lives on the outskirts of Paris, is courted by many men, including a maharajah, Djorah de Nopur, and a young Swedish scientist, Einar Norsen. At her lavish parties she enjoys their amorous attentions but she remains emotionally aloof and heartlessly taunts them.

How It Feels

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

A visually sumptuous silent film about a woman's emotional awakening after heartlessly driving a man to death, told with the grandeur and moral reckoning of an ancient myth. It's a slow, haunting meditation on the cost of emotional cruelty.
