How It Feels

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

A poignant portrait of Oscar Wilde's life as his wit and charm collide with the impossible contradictions of Victorian society, a man caught between the person he must appear to be and the person he truly is. It's a study in the cost of living inauthentically, rendered with genuine compassion for its subject.
