Films like The Headless Woman.

The Headless Woman (2008) reads as Heavy, slow-burn, measured drama / mystery, surreal in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
