How It Feels

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

A rock-opera retelling of Christ's final days that treats its sacred subject with theatrical provocation and genuine emotional turbulence. Watching it feels like witnessing a passionate argument about faith itself, staged across a desert landscape with bodies and music colliding.
