How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A richly textured portrait of a spirited woman's education through romantic entanglement and social betrayal in 19th-century Europe. Watching it is like observing someone slowly come to understand the true cost of autonomy and the ways desire can cloud judgment.
