How It Feels

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

A devastating portrait of romantic obsession where a man's infatuation with a contemptuous woman becomes the instrument of his own undoing. It's a bleak, unflinching study of desire as addiction, made potent by early cinema's willingness to show moral ruin without redemption.
