Films like The Power of Emotion.

The Power of Emotion (1983) reads as Sombre, measured, measured essay / experimental, surreal in texture. Ambivalent, 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.
