Films like A Sunday in the Country.

A Sunday in the Country (1984) reads as Warm, measured, gentle drama / family, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, tender. 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.
