Drama following the life and times of disgraced Labour politician John Stonehouse, a high-flying minister under Prime Minister Harold Wilson’s government vanished from the beach of a large luxury hotel in Florida in November 1974, leaving a neatly folded pile of clothes as he swam into the sea, intent on faking his own death.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A mordantly funny but deeply sad account of a man's spectacular unraveling as he attempts to escape his demons by becoming someone else. It's a study in the mechanics of political scandal and personal collapse, told with dark wit and genuine pathos.
