Is this the best example of a film that could only have been made in the film medium?

8 and a half.

Would agree it's the best example, but I would name surrealistic movies like Inland Empire or behavior studies like nature documentaries also

Pretty much any film that doesn't centre around dialogue or exposition is an example of a film that is better off being made in the film medium. Sure you could describe the nightmarish sight of a samurai pursuing you over a kaleidoscopic horizon as exists in Kagemusha but seeing it there in pure visceral colour makes a whole world of difference. Just one example.

But I know what you're saying. Koyaanisqatsi is a great example of how image, editing and music creates a unique spectacle.

Good one. Seems a narrative, but it really isn't. Conclusion is totally cinematic, although it did bring the conclusion of You Can't take it with You (Capra) to mind.

Is this the only good example of a documentary without dialogue? I feel like all the other documentaries in this "genre" just focuses on pretty images, but there is no information or substance in the images. Baraka and Samsara seems so aimless in comparison to Koyaanisqatsi. Visitors had some new interesting ideas, But it mostly just reuses old ideas.I recently watched the trailer for Awaken, and it seems to be just a collection of pretty images.

That does in many respects look a lot like a Terrance Malick film only without aim. Hard to decipher from the trailer alone.

obviously it's better in that medium but I don't see why you couldn't just write a book describing what you see throughout the film
