Films like Mealtimes.

Mealtimes (1967) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / new german cinema, 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.
