How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping war drama that gradually transforms into a psychological study of honor and complicity, as a commander becomes so invested in an impossible task that he loses sight of whose side he's on. The film balances epic battle scope with intimate moral deterioration.
