How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A methodical descent into the Soviet bureaucratic machinery that enabled one of history's worst serial killers to hunt for decades. This is a grueling procedural about the grinding frustration of pursuing truth in a system designed to obscure it.
