How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A scathing anti-war film that uses a historical cavalry disaster as a vehicle for interrogating blind obedience, military hierarchy, and the callousness of imperial power. It's less interested in heroic spectacle than in the human cost of ego-driven command.
