Films like The Place Without Limits.

The Place Without Limits (1978) reads as Sombre, kinetic, extreme drama / lgbt, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, 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.
