How It Feels

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

A dreamlike, mythic sweep through Arthurian legend that feels less like a narrative to be followed and more like a vision to be immersed in. Brockhurst's surreal direction and vivid tableaux create an almost hypnotic grandeur where magic and doom hang heavy in the mist.
