Any other films..


that mainly uses loads of master shots like this one? They give a theater like feel to these movies.
I know a lot of old films like this but are there any recent ones that employs this approach?

Tsai Ming-Liang does this. I feel compositionally he has a lot of similarities with Tati, even if his films are drastically different in style http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EQtHBj-z3KM/TKctpMlBm4I/AAAAAAAAANY/V9_38PqQKxg/s1600/The+Wayward+Cloud+(Tian+Bian+Yi+Duo+Yun)-2005-Ming-liang+Tsai.avi_snapshot_00.13.50_%5B2010.10.02_05.59.02%5D.jpg
There are a lot of thematic similarities as well.

Antonioni is a bit older and in my mind, not as close an example, but there's something there. Particularly with Blow-Up.

Chantal Ackerman does this as well, though her camera is never nearly as wide as the other filmmakers. She relies a lot more on medium shots.
