Films like Le Cri du cœur.

Le Cri du cœur (1994) reads as Neutral, steady, measured drama / diaspora, inventive 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.
