How It Feels

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

A faded romance set against the twilight of 1930s Shanghai, where a displaced Russian countess and an American diplomat find connection in a glamorous nightclub built as refuge from a crumbling world. It's a film about people clinging to beauty and possibility even as history closes in around them.
