How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping silent melodrama that follows a disgraced minister through alcoholic ruin and unexpected love, unfolding with the painterly beauty and moral complexity of early cinema. Watching it is an immersion in period sensibility, ornate, emotionally direct, and concerned with fate as much as choice.
