How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A slow, suffocating moral reckoning set in a colonial desert outpost, where one man's awakening to cruelty is overwhelmed by the machinery of empire he inhabits. The film builds a mounting sense of complicity and helplessness beneath a facade of civility.
