Films like The Blind Director.

The Blind Director (1985) reads as Sombre, measured, measured essay / experimental, surreal in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, 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.
