How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sharp-edged portrait of a wealthy woman caught between longing for love and the grim reality of fortune-hunting. The film's precision and restraint mask deep wells of hurt and disillusionment.
