Films like Treasured Earth.

Treasured Earth (1948) reads as Sombre, steady, measured hungarian / peasant, grounded 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.
