How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A harrowing descent into the consciousness of a soldier trapped in his own body, visceral, claustrophobic, and unflinching in its examination of the human cost of war. This is not a film that lets you look away.
