Films like Silvestre.

Silvestre (1981) reads as Neutral, slow-burn, measured folk-tale / cross-dressing, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, 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.
