Films like Léa Pool's Lost and Delirious.

Léa Pool's Lost and Delirious (2001) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / coming-of-age, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
