How It Feels

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

A provocative and unnerving blend of period melodrama and supernatural eroticism that treats transgression as alluring rather than cautionary. The film embraces its pulp premise with a committed intensity that makes it genuinely uncomfortable and strangely hypnotic.
