How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut Cold War thriller where a grieving civilian thrust into espionage discovers the truth behind his wife's death is far murkier than expected. The film twists between personal vendetta and institutional treachery, keeping you off-balance throughout.
