How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sprawling WWI aviation epic centered on two brothers whose paths diverge when one falls under the spell of a manipulative woman, leaving the other to face the skies alone. Howard Hughes' ambitious spectacle balances intimate human drama with breathtaking aerial sequences that showcase the machinery of war with formalist precision.
