How It Feels

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

A dark, claustrophobic thriller that uses a blackmail scheme to expose the brutal hypocrisy of mid-century law and society against gay men. It's a genuinely dangerous film for its time, trading in noir shadows and mounting dread as its protagonist faces the impossible choice between self-preservation and integrity.
