How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A morally unsparing war film that tracks a young soldier's gradual corruption as he's drawn deeper into atrocities in service of an imperial cause he increasingly recognizes as indefensible. It's unflinching in its portrait of how conscience erodes under the weight of loyalty and orders.
