Films like The Engagement of Anna.

The Engagement of Anna (1972) reads as Heavy, measured, measured class / servant, grounded in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
