How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A witty, gorgeously mounted fantasy that treats Shakespeare's creative struggle and forbidden romance as one and the same, blending Elizabethan pageantry with screwball comedy and genuine emotional sting.
