How It Feels

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

A deliberate, intellectually engaging adaptation of Conan Doyle's Holmes stories that privileges careful deduction and character over spectacle. This Soviet-era series unfolds with the deliberateness of a man working through a locked room, letting plot complications reveal themselves gradually.
