How It Feels

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

A fractured, hallucinatory meditation on wartime propaganda and historical revisionism, built from corrupted archival footage that warps the boundary between document and fever dream. It's a haunting excavation of how cinema constructs national mythology and collective memory.
