Films like Face to Face.

Face to Face (1967) reads as Sombre, kinetic, measured spaghetti western / drama, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, cold. 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.
