How It Feels

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

A grim, fatalistic war film that follows seven Russian snipers on a suicide mission behind enemy lines, treating their doomed struggle as both tragedy and act of resistance. The atmosphere is heavy with the weight of inevitable loss, but never without dignity.
