How It Feels

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

A richly Gothic fever dream where a decadent prince plays at godhood while death closes in around his castle walls. The film is all expressionistic shadows and baroque cruelty, building to a sense of inevitable doom.
