How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow, meditative exploration of grief and duty in the aftermath of the Great War, where a methodical major searching for the missing dead finds something equally profound in human connection. The film treats war's aftermath as a haunting, bureaucratic labyrinth of loss.
