Films like A Man and a Woman.

A Man and a Woman (1966) reads as Warm, measured, gentle romance / drama, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured. 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.
