How It Feels

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

A meditative portrait of an unlikely friendship forged in unforgiving wilderness, where two men from different worlds discover mutual respect and belonging in the vastness of Siberian nature. The film moves with the unhurried pace of the forests themselves, building toward a quiet but profound reckoning with mortality and what we leave behind.

not entirely my thing but i thought dersu and the captains bromance was the best part about the film but honestly.....i can't say i was that moved by this one.

still excellent performances and direction but im more invested in its central dynamic then anything else it has to say about nature sadly
