How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A mesmerizing descent into the suffocating hierarchies of a feudal household, where a young woman discovers that the ornate trappings of privilege can become a gilded cage. Visually sumptuous yet emotionally austere, the film watches you as much as you watch it.
