How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gritty WWII mission film that strips away romantic notions of combat, following soldiers through morally compromising choices in the North African desert. It's a war story preoccupied with the callous pragmatism required to stay alive.
