How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A Cold War-era kaiju film that treats alien invasion and mechanical monsters as vehicles for exploring human obsession and sacrifice. It's more intimate and character-driven than a typical giant monster spectacle, building dread through the collision of science, ambition, and alien conspiracy.
