Films like The Shadowless Tower.

The Shadowless Tower (2023) reads as Sombre, slow-burn, measured drama / art house, 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.
