Films like Those Who Love Me Can Take the Train.

Those Who Love Me Can Take the Train (1998) reads as Sombre, steady, 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.
