How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A lush period drama that transforms Shakespeare's merchant tale into a richly uncomfortable examination of prejudice, desire, and the cost of mercy. Expect sumptuous Venice, sharp wit, and moral complexity that lingers.
