Films like The Part-Time Work of a Domestic Slave.

The Part-Time Work of a Domestic Slave (1973) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / feminist, 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.
