"Revanche," an Austrian film, does this very well and It's one of my favorites. It feels like what it's showing is actually happening and you take the role as a passiveobserver, not someone having a story told to. I don't want to give too much away, but the whole story is an internal struggle within the main character. It's shown only through the characters actions, and his facial expressions and body language. I know it's on the Criterion collection, but I don't where else you could find it.

That should be interesting to watch. I'll add it to the queue. Thanks for the suggestion.
