How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sprawling biblical epic that treats the life and ministry of Christ as a tragedy of influence and misunderstanding, building toward passion with operatic gravitas. This is cinema as spiritual meditation, patient, reverent, and deeply invested in the weight of its subject matter.
