Films like The Adventures of Picasso.

The Adventures of Picasso (1978) reads as Cosy, kinetic, gentle comedy / satire, 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.
