How It Feels

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

A slick, unflinching portrait of moral compromise disguised as a thriller, watching Yuri Orlov navigate the arms trade with charisma and cunning while the world burns around him creates a darkly hypnotic sense of complicity. The film's ironic distance from its protagonist makes every casual atrocity land harder than conventional outrage would.
