How It Feels

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

A wry, downbeat con-artist tale set in the seamy underbelly of Buenos Aires, where two desperate men scheme their way through moral compromise. The film has the feel of a film noir transplanted to post-war Argentina, with dry humor undercut by inevitable consequences.
