Films like The Diamond Hand.

The Diamond Hand (1969) reads as Cosy, breathless, measured comedy / crime, grounded in texture. Redemptive, intimate, tender. 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.
