How It Feels

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

A gorgeously stylized Asian Western where a star-crossed love story is the emotional core beneath operatic gunfights and theatrical bloodshed. It's a film that treats its romance with as much weight as its action, blending melodrama, comedy, and violence into something both earnest and playfully self-aware.
