Films like The Hare Census.

The Hare Census (1973) reads as Neutral, measured, measured comedy / satire, inventive 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.
