Films like The History of Sound.

The History of Sound (2025) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / romance, grounded 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.
