Films like Lights in the Dusk.

Lights in the Dusk (2006) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / noir, inventive 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.
