How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping, elegiac portrait of ideals colliding with brutal frontier capitalism, where even triumph feels tinged with irreversible loss. Cinerama-scale storytelling that moves with the careful pace of someone watching something beautiful slip away.
