Films like An Enemy of the People.

An Enemy of the People (1989) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / bengali, 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.
