How It Feels

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

A haunting meditation on the cost of violence wrapped in visceral samurai action, where a reformed killer is forced to confront whether he can truly escape his past. The film pulses with elegiac tension, beautiful but heavy, knowing that some debts can only be paid in blood.
