Thought about that, didn't know how much I'd write, but hey I'm a mod it can be moved.

I just watch Kaneto Shindo's The Island (1961). Basically it's what Robert Flaherty would have done if he was Japanese. All about a family living in a meager island. The story is told with no dialogue at all, and barely any sound. It's a film of scenic beauty, but of course there is some drama to be had. The film is a study in the power of images and visual storytelling.
