How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A taut political thriller that reconstructs a pivotal moment of corruption and moral defiance within the Korean military during a moment of national crisis. It captures both the procedural claustrophobia of power struggles at the highest levels and the crushing inevitability of institutional betrayal.
