What are some /lit/ movies? I'm looking for something to watch tonight before returning to my shit job tomorrow.

Last movie I saw was Pickpocket, which was basically a French retelling of Crime and punishment.

The MC goes in a path a bit different in the end tho.

Sticking with the theme of French retellings, I watched Jean Cocteau's 'Orpheus' (1950) the other night. It's a modern version of the Orphic myth with some artistic liberties taken. In the movie, Orpheus is a poet rather than a musician and he falls in love with the personification of Death who is a sexy French bitch with leather gloves and a motorcycle-gang entourage. You guys would like it.

If you allow for "book adoptions", then basically every second movie will do...
So let's try to get more out of this..

Wonder Boys is a movie about writers.
Bridge to Terabithia is about a childrens book.
Party Girl is about a librarian.
And there's the Never Ending Story movies about a book.

tarkovsky had some good ones. i found solaris to be more moving than stalker but that's just me, they're both great

if you just mean of literary quality bergman films shit, at least from what ive seen of him, rather like theyre staged, probs b/c he also directed theatre. a scene is established, everyone says their lines, cut to the next
