Films like The Revolt of Job.

The Revolt of Job (1983) reads as Sombre, steady, measured hungarian / holocaust, grounded in texture. Ambivalent, mid-stakes, tender. 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.
