Films like Constellation of Riflemen.

Constellation of Riflemen (1982) reads as Sombre, measured, measured documentary / latvian, 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.
