How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A Cold War pressure cooker where a obsessive captain's pursuit of a Soviet submarine becomes a psychological thriller as much as a naval one. Tension mounts inexorably toward catastrophe as the captain's grip on command, and reality, begins to fracture.
