How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A suffocating modern retelling of classical tragedy where passion and inevitability collide. The film watches like watching a car slide toward a cliff, you know where it's heading, but the momentum is relentless.
