Kinetta (Greece, 2005)

Filmed in Greece. No dialog. I looked it up on Wikipedia which sort of explained it---three people do some things that don't make sense and they re-enact violent crimes.

All filmed with a shaky hand-held camera even though, for the most part, the camera operator was just a human tripod, standing still, panning a little but incapable of holding the camera steady.

Someone in the movie had an old Canon XL1, once on the cutting edge of prosumer technology. But the movie was shot in 35 mm, and it did look good.

From the director of Lobster and Dogtooth.

I dozed off at one point, so it's possible I slept through the part that explained everything. That's a disadvantage of streaming video.

Available on the Criterion Channel.
