Films like Kyiv Frescoes.

Kyiv Frescoes (1966) reads as Neutral, measured, measured arthouse / experimental, surreal in texture. Ambivalent, 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.
