How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grim portrait of futile warfare where soldiers are sacrificed to senseless orders and mountains of corpses accumulate in pursuit of a fortress that cannot be taken. An Italian officer's conscience cracks under the weight of commanding men to their deaths.
