Films like Brandos Costumes.

Brandos Costumes (1975) reads as Sombre, slow-burn, measured salazarism / family, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold. 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.
