How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lean, visceral portrait of ruthless ambition and its corrosive effects, where a small-time criminal's violent climb to power is matched only by the speed of his inevitable collapse. It feels taut and unsparing, early sound cinema's version of a moral cautionary tale, without sentimentality.
