Films like Diary for My Loves.

Diary for My Loves (1987) reads as Sombre, measured, measured hungarian / autobiographical, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, 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.
