How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A richly theatrical adaptation of Shakespeare's play that unfolds like a poison spreading through a royal court, masterfully acted and visually sumptuous, with Richard's charismatic villainy driving every scene toward inevitable doom.
