How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A portrait of a woman consumed by her own hunger for transcendence in a world that offers her only constraint. Flaubert's heroine becomes a tragic force of nature, beautiful, reckless, and ultimately destructive to everyone who orbits her.
