Films like The Blind Sunflowers.

The Blind Sunflowers (2008) reads as Heavy, measured, measured drama / music, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, 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.
