How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A seedy 1970s thriller that trades in lurid violence and diplomatic intrigue, building a claustrophobic web of suspects as bodies pile up around the Swiss Ambassador's household. The mood is cynical and pulpy, leaning hard into the sex-and-brutality of the era.
