Films like The Private Eyes.

The Private Eyes (1976) reads as Cosy, breathless, gentle comedy / hui-brothers, grounded 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.
