Films like A Tale of the Wind.

A Tale of the Wind (1988) reads as Warm, slow-burn, gentle documentary / french, surreal 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.
