Films like Lilies of the Field.

Lilies of the Field (1972) reads as Neutral, steady, measured slovak / surreal, surreal 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.
