How It Feels

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

A harrowing immersion into the grinding brutality of trench warfare, following ordinary soldiers as they confront the machinery of death. The film treats combat not as heroism but as endurance, a test of men's bonds and bodies against an overwhelming, indifferent force.
