How It Feels

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

A claustrophobic portrait of a young man torn between the street life he knows and the moral conscience that won't let him rest. Scorsese pins you inside the Catholic guilt and casual violence of Little Italy with a restless, almost documentary-like intensity.
