His film seems to be an "on-going story", a self-conscious life entity. The characters in the story are not told about the past and the future. There is no flashback of memory, only the ongoing plot, just like The story will still grow outside of this movie. Everyone in the story does not exist for the purpose of achieving this story. Outside of the movie, they still have their own independent stories.
This structure is most apparent in "Outlaws".
This is the reason why I like him.
