How It Feels

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

A sprawling historical drama about a man caught between the institutions seeking to control Sicily, playing an impossibly dangerous game of independence against the Church, the Mafia, and the ruling class. It's a story of idealism tested by ruthless realpolitik, told with the weight of a man destined to be crushed by forces larger than himself.
