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 a corrupt feudal underworld where a wandering ninja is ensnared in a conspiracy far darker than he anticipated. Stylish, brutal, and unrelenting, this is darkly operatic adventure animation that doesn't look away from cruelty.
