How It Feels

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

A gothic fever dream where passion and madness blur, operatic in scope and emotion. Gorgeously mounted melodrama that trades quiet terror for lush visual spectacle and the twisted romance of a broken man's impossible love.
