How It Feels

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

A stark, unflinching examination of state violence and ideological betrayal set during a real 1962 Soviet massacre, told through the shattered perspective of a party true-believer witnessing the collapse of her convictions. The black-and-white cinematography and rigorous formal control create an unbearably tense portrait of how brutality is rationalized and concealed.
