Lol - no complaints there!I thought I was following your rant until I got to that last bit I've quoted. I don't know what arthouse movies you're watching, but if I had to point to something trashy and indefensible I'd be pointing to a MCU film rather than an Almodovar film!

However, for many (too many if you ask me) MCU represents an acceptable standard allowable in polite company, while old Italian giallo movies or maybe the recent Palme d'Or winner Titane, represents something literally unspeakable. Untouchable. Let's pretend it doesn't even exist. Approaching S&S from the pearl-clutching angle. (Double sigh)
I (obviously) haven't watched that particular movie (yet), but just from reading about it I am positive it represents what I was aiming for with my analogy. In other words, for me S&S includes - and worships - aspects your olde Forgotten Realmse never do. Even when written by and played by fully grown adults. Dismissing it as merely "juvenile" says more about the speaker than the source material.
Maybe I'm just reading from too many US pop-culture internet sites thou.
