How It Feels

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

A hypnotic meditation on military discipline and desire, where the rigid structures of the Foreign Legion become a crucible for one man's unraveling obsession. Galoup's haunted reminiscence unfolds with balletic precision, blurring the line between memory and self-deception.
