That is an excellent example of the cinematic effect.
Watch the movie "1917" for long takes. Short takes would ruin the harrowing experience the main characters suffer.
So thought out, feels like watching a kubrick film
Inglorious Basterds does this very well, its opening scene is very close to what you describe, as well as a number of other scenes in the film.
It took me a bit to figure out what I was watching. It's a comparison between scenes from "The Revenant" and scenes from various films directed by Andrei Tarkovsky.

Give The Mirror a try. It is highly autobiographical so it is probably not his most well known or well liked film but its cinematic techniques are some of the best. Poetry in motion is how I can best describe it as well.
The reasons you consider it to be such a good film probably have more to do with cinematography than writing, acting or directing. The beautiful shots are a direct result of Emmanuel Lubezki being the DP - the same style can be seen in Birdman, Gravity, The Revenant, and some of Terrence Malick’s films.
