How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A masterwork of social observation that uses the formal restraint of a weekend party to dissect the vanity and delusion of the privileged class. It's both mordant comedy and quiet tragedy, watching people play by rules they've convinced themselves matter.
