Films like Terra para Rose.

Terra para Rose (1987) reads as Sombre, steady, measured documentary / political, grounded 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.
