Films like The Wheelchair.

The Wheelchair (1960) reads as Sombre, kinetic, measured comedy / satire, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
