Only cinema narrows its concern down to its content, that is to its story. It should, instead, concern itself with its form, its structure. - Peter Greenaway

The cinema is about other things than storytelling. What you remember from a good film -- and let's only talk about good films -- is not the story, but a particular and hopefully unique experience that is about atmosphere, ambience, performance, style, an emotional attitude, gestures, singular events, a particular audio-visual experience that does not rely on the story.
