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 brilliance shadowed by self-destruction, where genius and depravity are inseparably braided. Johnny Depp's Earl of Rochester is magnetic and repulsive in equal measure, a man racing toward oblivion with wit and bitterness as his only weapons.
