Films like Aimée & Jaguar.

Aimée & Jaguar (1999) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / romance, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, 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.
