How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sweeping 18th-century epic that pits spiritual conviction against imperial violence, as a Jesuit mission in the South American jungle becomes a battleground between prayer and the sword. It's a grandly mounted meditation on faith, conscience, and the tragic cost of colonialism.
