Films like The Seduction of Mimi.

The Seduction of Mimi (1972) reads as Neutral, kinetic, measured comedy / drama, 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.
