How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A swashbuckling period romance that pits passionate adventure against the heart, following a charming rogue forced to choose between his ideals and his love. It's the kind of film that embraces both sword-clanging action and the flutter of impossible attraction across a social divide.
