Films like The Last Days of the City.

The Last Days of the City (2016) reads as Sombre, slow-burn, measured cairo / pre-revolution, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
