Films like The Death of Cinema and My Father Too.

The Death of Cinema and My Father Too (2020) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / father-son, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, 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.
