this would be a fairly expensive solution compared to print films, but
you might try Kodachrome 200 Professional pushed to ISO500, then
either have Ilfochromes printed, or have good quality digital prints
made from them. For an example of what K200 @ 500 looks like I
recommend you look at some of Eric Valli's work, particularly
'Caravans of the Himalaya'. It has a lovely flinty grain structure
with neutral or understated colour and nice edge contrast. Kodachrome,
for reasons I'm sure you're aware of, is much more like a b&w film than
ordinary colour print film and I think this could well provide the effect
you're looking for.
