Films like Landscape After the Battle.

Landscape After the Battle (1970) reads as Heavy, steady, measured drama / war, inventive 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.
