    Do you have any resources that focus on the script structure of slow cinema films? I am specifically concerned with how they format the action in their scripts. Do they describe it in great detail? Or do they simply just give a short description of the action that is to occur? If so, are their scripts often very short despite their long runtimes? Any resources that look into this, be it an article, or actual scripts themselves would be of great benefit.
