FilmsElisa, My LifeLike this

Films like Elisa, My Life.

Elisa, My Life (1977) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / memory, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
