How It Feels

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

A deliberately paced samurai drama where a blind swordsman navigates overlapping mysteries of disappearance and murder, balancing action with quiet moral reflection. The film feels less interested in spectacle than in the human consequences of violence and the bonds that form between strangers.
