How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping martial arts spectacle built on the tension between two warriors of equal skill forced into deadly competition, elevated by the discovery that their real enemy lies elsewhere. The film balances elaborate sword choreography with moments of introspection about duty and deception.
