How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quiet, unsentimental portrait of former actors haunted by their past glories and failures, where the arrival of a once-famous seducer stirs old passions and buried resentments. It's a meditation on time's cruelty and the gap between who we were and who we've become.
