Films like I Shot Andy Warhol.

I Shot Andy Warhol (1996) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / biography, inventive 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.
