Films like Yolanda and the Thief.

Yolanda and the Thief (1945) reads as Cosy, kinetic, gentle mgm / freed-unit, inventive 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.
