How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A languid, intimate portrait of a marriage unraveling as romantic ideals collide with the weight of class difference and unfulfilled desire. Watching two people gradually discover they want incompatible lives, rendered with Bergman's characteristic emotional precision and unhurried depth.
