Films like The Toth Family.

The Toth Family (1969) reads as Neutral, kinetic, measured comedy / drama, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, mid-stakes, 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.
