Films like The Master and Tatyana.

The Master and Tatyana (2014) reads as Neutral, steady, measured documentary / biography, 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.
