How It Feels

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

A melancholic early silent drama about a woman seduced by the glamour of circus life, only to discover that romance and freedom come at a devastating cost. This is a somber meditation on desire, class, and the harsh realities beneath attractive surfaces.
