Films like Brick and Mirror.

Brick and Mirror (1965) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / iranian, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
