How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A stylish, sexually charged dramatization of the Profumo affair that traces how a young woman's affair with a government minister becomes a weapon in a larger game of social leverage and survival. It's a seductive film about seduction itself, one that luxuriates in the glamour and danger of 1960s London while watching power structures weaponize intimacy.
