Films like A Woman and Her Four Men.

A Woman and Her Four Men (1983) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / arthouse, 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.
