Films like Father, Son and Holy Torum.

Father, Son and Holy Torum (2008) reads as Neutral, measured, measured documentary / latvian, 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.
