How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sumptuous, paranoid thriller about desire and deception, where a man's romantic fantasy curdles into nightmare as he discovers his bride is not who she claims to be. It's a film about the dangerous gap between fantasy and reality, suspended in tropical languor.
