Films like Copying Beethoven.

Copying Beethoven (2006) reads as Sombre, steady, gentle drama / music, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, 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.
