Films like Earth of the Blind.

Earth of the Blind (1992) reads as Sombre, slow-burn, measured documentary / poetic, inventive 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.
