Films like The Sister of Ursula.

The Sister of Ursula (1978) reads as Heavy, steady, measured giallo / erotic, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold. 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.
