How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow-burning descent into psychological breakdown as three soldiers stagnate in a remote posting, with mounting tension and creeping dread as normalcy unravels. The film captures the corroding effect of enforced idleness and distance from purpose as clearly as any combat scene.
