How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grand historical drama that refuses to simplify its famous story, splitting focus between a ruthless captain's desperate voyage to redemption and the fugitives fleeing across the Pacific. It's a film of conflicting loyalties and the bruising costs of both authority and rebellion.
