Agreed. One of the best movies I've seen is "Tokyo Story" (1953, Yasujirō Ozu). I'd never seen anything else with cinematography like it (almost entirely static cameras, with actors looking directly at them), and the storytelling fits the Kishōtenketsu structure rather than the standard Western three-act structure. It's slow paced, with no action, but the novelty was enough to hold my attention until I engaged with the story, and then I wasn't bored at all. Film critics rate it very highly, and I can see why.
