How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A silent-era melodrama about desire and resentment simmering in the shadows of a glamorous nightclub. Elegantly composed but morally murky, it's a portrait of what ambition costs when it threatens the wrong people.
