How It Feels

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

A haunting, deliberately paced meditation on how the sins of youth consume a lifetime. Sergio Leone's late masterpiece drowns you in nostalgia and regret as a broken man revisits the world he destroyed and the people he betrayed.
