How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping pre-Code melodrama that pits earthly passion against spiritual conviction, with all the grandeur and excess of early sound cinema. The film luxuriates in its moral conflict and visual spectacle, asking whether love can survive when the world demands you choose between faith and empire.
