Films like The Italian Straw Hat.

The Italian Straw Hat (1928) reads as Cosy, breathless, gentle comedy / french, inventive in texture. Redemptive, 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.
