Films like Aristotle's Plot.

Aristotle's Plot (1996) reads as Neutral, kinetic, measured satire / cinema, surreal 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.
