How It Feels

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

A sumptuous historical tragedy about forbidden passion in the Austro-Hungarian court, where duty and desire collide with devastating consequence. The film moves with the weight of inevitability, beautiful and suffocating in equal measure.
