How It Feels

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

An ambitious, emotionally sweeping silent epic that uses the tragedy of WWI and a fractured family to explore the personal costs of war and conflicting loyalties. At its massive scale and leisurely pace, it's a film designed to overwhelm and move rather than merely entertain.
