How It Feels

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

A sprawling portrait of Japan's postwar economic ascent told through the bitter collision of personal ambition and family loyalty, where a bank merger becomes the stage for generational conflict and backroom political maneuvering. Heavy with the weight of tradition and modernity clashing, it rewards viewers willing to sit with moral complexity and institutional intrigue.
