How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A delirious farce about a married couple plotting each other's demise, built on the premise that a famous acquittal lawyer inadvertently teaches a husband how to get away with murder. It's a film that finds comedy in the mechanics of marital contempt and criminal planning.
