Hmmm, _Koyaanisqatsi_ (1983), one of my five favorite films of all time,
doesn't have a script or dialogue or actors -- does it "tell a story"?

Plus, my favorite film of 1997 was _Fast, Cheap & Out of Control_, which
I've described elsewhere as a "docu-poem" because it's sort of a
documentary but it functions like a poem -- does it "tell a story"?
