How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lurid pre-Code melodrama about Rasputin's hypnotic hold over the Russian court, told with tabloid sensationalism and theatrical moral disgust. It's a descent into court intrigue and spiritual manipulation that feels less like history and more like Gothic revenge fantasy.
