How It Feels

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

A sumptuous 18th-century game of seduction spirals into genuine passion, as a practiced libertine discovers that love may be the one thing he cannot control or strategize. Lush, theatrical, and emotionally dangerous.
