Films like The Filth and the Fury.

The Filth and the Fury (2000) reads as Sombre, steady, measured documentary / music, inventive 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.
