How It Feels

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

A deeply uncomfortable psychological portrait of damage and desire set in a post-war manor house, where a wounded man's recovery takes a morally troubling turn. The film lingers on forbidden attraction with a clinical, literary detachment that makes its subject matter all the more disquieting.
