How It Feels

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

A sprawling maritime saga that transforms Melville's novel into a Gothic pursuit, where a captain's monomaniacal hunt for a white whale becomes a descent into self-destruction. It's operatic in scale and catastrophic in intent, told through the eyes of the one man left to bear witness.
