How It Feels

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

A provocative legal and personal biography that uses one man's outrageous fight for publishing rights to wrestle with where free speech ends and decency begins. Milos Forman channels both satire and genuine principle into a film that refuses easy answers.
