How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visually baroque descent into depravity and sensuality, where a woman's affair becomes an act of transgression against her brutish, sadistic husband. The film revels in provocation and excess, painting cruelty and desire in vivid, unflinching strokes.
