Films like Fellini's Casanova.

Fellini's Casanova (1976) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / period, surreal in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, 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.
