How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gritty political thriller set against the chaos of 1980s Beirut, following a haunted diplomat pulled back into a dangerous game of hostage negotiation shadowed by his family's tragic past. It's taut and atmospheric but grounded in the messy realities of Cold War geopolitics rather than spectacle.
