Films like Klucis – The Deconstruction of an Artist.

Klucis – The Deconstruction of an Artist (2008) reads as Sombre, measured, measured documentary / latvian, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, cold. 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.
