How It Feels

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

A psychological thriller about moral compromise and the seduction of power, watching a man rationalize his way into complicity. Bertolucci's formal precision makes every frame feel suffocating, the visual architecture of fascism itself becomes a character.
