How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping portrait of transformation through war that balances the terrible beauty of the Western Front with intimate human connections forged in its mud. The film's scope, and its restraint in depicting both carnage and tenderness, makes it feel both monumental and deeply personal.
