Films like Funeral Parade of Roses.

Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / japanese, 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.
