How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A silent-era charmer where Chaplin's resourceful tramp finds unexpected belonging in the circus, only to discover that affection and acceptance come with bittersweet costs. It's a graceful blend of physical comedy and genuine pathos, where laughter masks the ache of longing.
