Films like The Peach Thief.

The Peach Thief (1964) reads as Sombre, measured, measured drama / romance, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, 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.
