How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A searing, formally austere portrait of political resistance that watches a man slowly disappear into his own sacrifice. Hunger demands patience and offers no catharsis, only the weight of conviction meeting immovable power.
