I have just seen 'Sightseers', directed by Ben Wheatley (who's currently filming the first 2 episodes of the next season of Doctor Who, for those of you who get off on such things). I was mainly interested because the pitch-black comedy of the story, essentially a love story of two people who go on a holiday to the country and inadvertently discover a mutual love of murder. And I'd loved Wheatley's latest film, 'A Field in England', though very different in tone and style.
It's virtually plotless, largely improvised, but still manages to feel coherent, with a definite character 'journey'. Which is fairly remarkable.
