How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A silent-era swashbuckler that thrills with passion and violence in equal measure, following a lovestruck sheik's son through betrayal and vengeance across desert landscapes. It's operatic melodrama with real stakes, tender one moment, brutal the next.
