How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A descent into the mind of a predator told with formal elegance and psychological precision. Kubrick's adaptation transforms Nabokov's novel into a deeply uncomfortable study of manipulation and self-deception.
