How It Feels

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

A tragic portrait of ambition and nostalgia set against 1930s Shanghai's underworld, where a man's violent rise is shadowed by lost love and the collapse of an era. The film moves between desire and duty with a fatalistic sense that personal happiness cannot survive in a world spiraling toward war and betrayal.
