Bruno Dumont's films certainly meet this criteria, I think. I would
start with La vie de Jésus and work up from there, they're all of a
similar mold.
Certain films of Claire Denis would work as well: Chocolat, Beau
Travail, L'Intrus (emphasis in particular on L'Intrus for your given
purpose).
Also the films of Philippe Grandrieux: Sombre and La vie nouvelle. The
latter is harder to find on DVD, particularly with English subtitles
(if you need 'em) but I would encourage you to view the film anyway.
It's not very dialogue-heavy at all.
