Films like The Very Same Munchhausen.

The Very Same Munchhausen (1988) reads as Sombre, steady, measured fantasy / satire, surreal 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.
