Films like The Red Snowball Tree.

The Red Snowball Tree (1974) reads as Sombre, steady, measured drama / crime, grounded 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.
