How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sprawling, reverential portrait of doomed resistance, where a desperate handful of men fortify themselves against overwhelming odds. The film treats their last stand as noble myth, building to inevitable tragedy with operatic weight.
