Films like Meeting People Is Easy.

Meeting People Is Easy (1998) reads as Sombre, measured, measured documentary / music, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold. 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.
