Films like C'est la vie, mon cheri.

C'est la vie, mon cheri (1993) reads as Neutral, measured, measured drama / romance, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, tender. 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.
