How It Feels

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

A portrait of artistic struggle and domestic tension as Dostoyevsky chases inspiration and roulette through European exile, while his wife Anna bears the weight of his compulsions. The film hovers between sympathy for creative ambition and the wreckage it leaves behind.
