How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A muscular Cold War revenge fantasy where Rocky travels to the Soviet Union to avenge his friend's death in the ring. It's equal parts genuine emotional weight and triumphalist spectacle, mourning and defiance wrapped in the logic of 1980s action cinema.
