Films like Dust in the Wind.

Dust in the Wind (1986) reads as Sombre, slow-burn, measured drama / romance, 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.
