Films like Footprints on the Moon.

Footprints on the Moon (1975) reads as Sombre, measured, measured giallo / mystery, surreal 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.
