How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sultry murder mystery steeped in colonial excess, where surface glamour masks jealousy and moral rot. The film luxuriates in the scandal of the British elite unraveling in wartime Kenya, building suspicion layer by intoxicating layer.
