Films like The Price of Love.

The Price of Love (1984) reads as Sombre, measured, measured period / corfu, grounded 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.
