How It Feels

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

A stately historical epic that uses the King's recollection of Joan of Arc to examine the collision between faith and institutional power. It's a meditation on how conviction meets betrayal, told with the formal gravity befitting a play adapted to the screen.
