As far as films go, there are movies like "Citizen Kane" which embody artistic vision through cold, almost un-artistic approach.
What do you mean by "almost un-artistic"? In what way is it nearly not artistic?
What you describe as "harmonious" and "uniform strenghts" is exactly why I fail to connect on a personal level. All the movies I rank as masterpieces have one thing in common: contrast.
Those were subjective observations pertaining to its quality value; to me the film is harmonious in its flawlessness; I can't think of any scene I'd take away, or any that I'd add. It's pretty perfect in that sense.
Of course the film has contrast: aural contrasts (that cut to from Kane idealising a speech among friends to him carrying on the same speech through speakers at a political rally;
oof!), visual contrasts, contrasts in performances, in spatial compositions... also, my last point of praise in the previous post demands a contrast between individual progress and a regression from social interaction.
It's a pretty well-balanced film all in all.
The film might leave you cold, of course; you'll have to tell me in what way its makers'
approach was cold, though...
