How It Feels

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

A masterwork of psychological manipulation that watches like a slow poisoning, as power dynamics shift beneath a veneer of propriety. Losey's camera traps you in luxurious rooms where class hierarchy becomes intimate predation.
