How It Feels

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

A gripping siege film where two mismatched officers must overcome their differences to hold an outnumbered garrison against overwhelming odds. It's a rousing, propulsive battle spectacle that also grapples with the class tensions and moral complexities lurking beneath the British Empire.
