How It Feels

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

A taut, unflinching portrait of yakuza politics during Japan's Olympic crackdown, where every alliance is temporary and every decision carries lethal weight. The film captures the claustrophobic pressure on both sides of the law as gangland wars intensify under the scrutiny of a modernizing nation.
