How It Feels

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

A taut, theatrical chess match between two men where each move raises the stakes and nothing is as it seems. The pleasure is in watching clever people try to outwit one another in a confined space, with real danger lurking beneath the game-playing.
