Films like Blood of the Condor.

Blood of the Condor (1969) reads as Heavy, steady, measured drama / political, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold. 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.
