It's an example of atmospheric 'slow cinema', similar to Bladerunner 2049. Both have rotten 'woke' cores, but people can 'experience' the story just the same if they looked past all the ham-fisted woke creative decisions, typically involving feminist themes.
I disagree. Duncs story is not minimalistic. It's non-existant. A movie like The Lighthouse has a minimalistic story. The Astartes mini series has a minimalistic story. Minimalistic stories still have substance. Dunc doesn't have any substance whatsoever. Not in its story nor in its visuals. Great cinematography yes but that's it.
Dunc tells as much of a story as a toddler that hasn't learned how to speak yet. They're both just babbling on without any rhyme or reason.
Also Dunc isn't slow cinema either. Because half of the scenes in that movie serve no purpose. It's just "Oh look pretty visuals!" and "OH LOOK IT'S FUCKING ZENDAYA AGAIN FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME DESPITE HER NOT BEING PART OF THE MOVIE!"

What story? There is no story in Dunc. There is no story in Odyssey. The story was butchered and discarded.
There is a story in Dune. It's just minimalistic as typical for 'slow cinema'.

Whatever the case, the attempt was to make a 'slow burn' movie, which conformed to the 'slow cinema' template.
It had its moments, but I mostly watched it in the cinema because of a free ticket. :')
