How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A portrait of inner torment disguised as biography, watching Tchaikovsky's genius and desire war against social constraint and self-denial, rendered in Ken Russell's baroque, operatic style. It's less a straightforward historical drama than a psychological descent into a man torn apart by the impossibility of living authentically.
