How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A relentless pressure cooker set in the suffocating depths of a U-boat, where technical precision and human fragility collide under the constant threat of annihilation. Watching it is like enduring a siege from within metal walls, where danger comes from above and doubt festers below.
