How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A caustic descent into the delusions of a faded silent film star and the desperate men who orbit her, filmed in stark black-and-white that makes Hollywood's decay feel claustrophobic and inescapable. It's a masterpiece of psychological unraveling that moves with darkly inevitable momentum toward tragedy.
