Films like The Duke of Burgundy.

The Duke of Burgundy (2015) reads as Neutral, slow-burn, gentle drama / romance, 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.
