How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
An exhaustive, five-and-a-half hour chronicle of revolution and terror that immerses you in the escalating chaos and ideological fervor of 18th-century France. It's a grueling political drama where lofty principles curdle into violence, and the machinery of change grinds relentlessly forward.
