How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A brutal, darkly operatic film that forces teenagers into absolute moral extremity, using violent spectacle to explore the bonds of friendship shattered under state coercion. It's a film that doesn't flinch from tragedy, and demands something raw from its viewer.
