How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A Soviet silent film that traces one peasant's awakening to revolutionary consciousness as St. Petersburg descends into chaos. It's a formally experimental work that uses montage and symbolic imagery to capture the collision between individual struggle and historical upheaval.
