Films like I Love Cinema.

I Love Cinema (2004) reads as Neutral, kinetic, measured coptic / childhood, grounded 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.
