How It Feels

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

A meticulously composed portrait of institutional ambition and its corrosive cost, where a man's climb through the ranks of empire becomes a descent into moral compromise. The film moves with deliberate gravity through the rigid hierarchies and unspoken desires of a fading empire.
