How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A stern war drama that uses the friction between a brutal sergeant and his men to explore the brutal necessity of discipline under fire. The film builds from grinding tension to something almost elegiac as the cost of combat becomes clear.
