How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A meditative and deeply philosophical examination of war's spiritual and psychological toll, where the violence itself becomes secondary to the inner struggle of men confronting their own nature and fragility. It's a film that moves slowly through beauty and horror, asking what remains of us when everything we thought we were is tested by combat.
