How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visceral descent into medieval brutality where clans clash over honor and survival, told with the formal precision of a medieval tapestry depicting humanity at its most primitive. Uncompromising and hypnotic, it strips away romanticism to show the Dark Ages as genuinely dark.
