How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sophisticated exploration of how performance and reality blur when two actors fall into the very passion their script demands, creating an affair that mirrors, and complicates, the tragic period romance they're performing. It's a film about desire that asks whether we ever know where our roles end and our authentic selves begin.
