Films like The Annunciation.

The Annunciation (1984) reads as Heavy, slow-burn, measured drama / experimental, surreal 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.
