How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sumptuous period drama about a man of authentic integrity caught between impossible desires, love and dignity, in a world that demands he surrender both. Watching it is like witnessing someone slowly trapped by their own principles.
