No Plot? No Problem: 15 Great Films Where "Not Much Happens" (Collider)

"One of the best things about watching a movie is having the experience of taking in a great story. As a film plays out, you get to directly see a narrative unfold, through the characters, their interactions, and the events they need to deal with. Beautiful visuals, inventive editing, and great music are all things that can make that story more powerful and emotionally resonant. But then again, some films aren't as concerned with showing viewers a direct story play out from A to B. Films like this can still have great characters and still work on an emotional level, but it's the experience of watching them that sticks with the audience, rather than the story that was told. Films like these do have a narrative, but favor exploring characters or making viewers feel something over-focusing on a plot. Even if some can be slow at points, they all prove to be rewarding experiences that show how the medium of film is so much more than just another way to tell a story." - collider.com
