How It Feels

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

A sprawling, grandly ambitious adaptation of Herbert's novel that unfolds across three episodes with operatic scope and deliberate pacing. It's a film that takes its philosophical underpinnings seriously, building toward destiny through courtly intrigue and desert mythology as much as through action.
