Ludwig
Ludwig. He loved women. He loved men. He lived as controversially as he ruled. But he did not care what the world thought. He was the world.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lush, slow immersion into the interior world of a king consumed by romantic ideals and artistic passion, watching as reality betrays him at every turn. At 238 minutes, it's an uncompromising biographical meditation on desire, duty, and the price of remaining true to yourself in a world that will not have it.
