How It Feels

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

A luscious, theatrical celebration of 1920s musical theatre where every frame bursts with color, song, and the infectious joy of performers putting on a show. It's an indulgent, whimsical fantasy that delights in its own artifice and spectacle.
