Films like Independencia.

Independencia (2009) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / experimental, surreal in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
