How It Feels

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

A silent expressionist drama where a hardened convict recounts the passion and jealousy that led to murder, told with operatic intensity and visual virtuosity. The film captures the intoxicating world of circus performance and the destructive weight of criminal consequence.
