Films like The Devil's Bride.

The Devil's Bride (1974) reads as Cosy, kinetic, gentle musical / fantasy, 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.
