How It Feels

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

A gothic psychological drama set in colonial Australia where a man and woman bound by tragedy and scandal struggle against the weight of their shared past and social exile. Hitchcock's operatic direction transforms what could be a simple redemption story into something darker and more destabilizing.
