How It Feels

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

A sleek, atmospheric portrait of a charming con man whose ascent through the corrupt corridors of 1930s French power becomes a slow-motion catastrophe. Alain Resnais crafts a film that feels like watching a house of cards built from bribes and lies, elegant but suffocating.
