Films like Eternity and a Day.

Eternity and a Day (1998) reads as Heavy, slow-burn, measured palme-dor / memory, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
