Films like The Blue Caftan.

The Blue Caftan (2022) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / romance, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, tender. 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.
