Films like A Dream of Passion.

A Dream of Passion (1978) reads as Heavy, measured, extreme medea / melina-mercouri, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
