How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A brutally uncompromising western set in the Australian outback that traps its protagonist between impossible loyalties and the machinery of colonial law. The film's harsh landscape and sadistic choices make it a grim, violent reckoning with the cost of civilization and kinship.
