How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut psychological portrait of genius and fragility, where a chess match becomes the stage for Cold War ideological conflict and one man's unraveling mental state. Watching Fischer prepare is like witnessing a brilliant mind caught between triumph and self-destruction.
