Book of Disquiet.

Some anon made a thread about books like The Great Beauty by Sorrentino - sharing the same sense of melancholy and beauty, and another anon recommended Antal Szerb's Journey by Moonlight. I read that and it was really fucking good, so thanks to that anon. But anyone has any other recommendations that would fit, please share.

Aura --- Carlos Fuentes

>>21734692
Sugar Frosted Nutsack -- Mark Leyner

>>21733697
Watched that the other day and personally I thought it was a let-down. I didn't get filtered, I got the motifs about nature and the days of Creation and the heathens and so on... but it just wasn't anywhere near as profound or beautiful as the reception it received claimed. Making everything unnecessarily tedious does not make you a Tarkovsky.
Recommendation: Hunger by Knut Hamsun

this is one of the supreme kinos of cinema, the literary influences are obvious

this is one of the supreme kinos of cinema, the literary influences are obvious. reminds me of tolstoy

>>21734865
Thanks! Wikipedia described the book as dreamlike, just what I'm looking for (:

>>21734685

pls no shitty horror novels

Out 1 or Love Exposure

would love something that captures the feel of this, more specifically the fever dream feelings of intense isolation in a far and hostile environment, and the gradual deterioration of the body and mind as it succumbs to attrition from everything from aspects of the environment its self like the climate, flora and fauna, and hostile natives, and isolation, lack of supplies etc.

fiction or nonfiction

Thank you!

I'd be impressed if you found me one that captures this mood and subject matter.

The soundtrack on this is insanely good. My friend recommended Journey to the East by Hesse as similar though I haven't read and can't confirm. I know the screen play for Aguirre has also been published so maybe try checking that out too.

>>21736987
great film, haven't seen it in yeeeeeeears. No Country is the only book I can think of that even comes close really, but even then it's not quite right.

>>21737297
I was thinking maybe the Border trilogy? There is much journeying in that and the protagonist is not an unstoppable force like the journeying character in NCFOM is.

any other letterboxdfags on here? some decent taste in this thread desu. drop ur links so I can check em out when I wake up later

Underrated choice. This one and The Passion of Anna are Bergman's overlooked masterpieces.

that's really not a lot anon. there are letterboxd autists who watch like 8 films per day

>>21737525
How do you even think about or appreciate a film if you don't have time to digest it?

>>21737528
as with most things, 90% of everything is crap (sturgeon's law) and does not require much aferthought. personally i mostly agree with your sentiment though; i like to sit with a film at least overnight if it has clearly got some serious intent behind it. really good films i don't really ever stop thinking about.

>>21737482
looking at your highly rated stuff we have some similar taste, but you log a lot of esoteric stuff as well which i appreciate. followed (i'm https://letterboxd.com/56709/))
please don't laugh at my cringe reviews, they are just for me to enjoy as i'm not a writer but enjoy using words (though i've been struggling to articulate anything worth reading especially with the most recent reviews lmao)

i have seen it though i don't particularly remember its themes so much as its visual presentation. i'll have to give it another watch.

>>21733847
In Search of Lost Time, referenced in the film itself, shares some similarities, especially the sense of melancholy and... lost time.
Steppenwolf's main character, at the beginning, also reminds me a lot of Jep Gambardella, however, I'd say he ends up in a very different place at the end.

The Picture of Dorian Gray has those elements too, certainly musings on beauty, morality of beauty, juxtaposing overwhelming beauty and overbearing ugliness etc. There are also the lavish parties and sharp-witted conversations of the upper classes, and the dullness of such life. In fact, I've always felt that if anyone should ever adapt The Picture of Dorian Gray well it should be in a similar style to The Great Beauty, with a sort of meandering flair, and highly aesthetic sensibility.

Irvine Welsh's novels are not exactly comedic but are a bit in that vain, and have their laugh-out-loud moments.
I hope someone recommends something properly comedic, however. There aren't enough good comedic books.

>>21737673
*are somewhat in that vein

>>21737592
well it's nap time for me so i'll answer later if the thread is still up

I'll have to. Didn't know there was an English translation. Thanks!

>>21737742
>i though the banshee's on inisherin
it probably is but it's one of the few good scripts to come from mainstream cinema in a while i think.
>ryuichi sakamoto
based. hope he's got plenty of time left

>>21737656
Was gonna say 'In Search of Lost Time' when I saw the image, but then I saw that you mentioned it yourself.

Caring that something is over- or underrated means that you factor other people's opinions into your own thoughts about the work.

>>21737545
Why redditors come here? I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just curious about the reason behind it. What is in here that appeals to you?

>>21741181
trannies come here because this is le chud nazi site and they feel compelled to "fight back" so they bite all the /pol/ bait if they're particularly retarded or spam the catalog with inane garbage and other disruptive shit if they're malicious bootlickers.

This is my favorite movie. A book that captures the essence of it would be something nice to find.

>>21741181
why am i a redditor
also you're kidding yourself if you think 99% of users here aren't also redditors. it's all you ever talk about. same goes for twitter and resetera. this place is not what it was, it's just another place for attention starved faggots to post their inane garbage, though this one has less restrictive moderation policies

>>21735774
Zama by Bennedetto or Robinson Crusoe/Foe. Perhaps Matterhorn by Marlantes too

>>21741824
>why am i a redditor
In one of your reviews you mention you're a redditor.
>also you're kidding yourself if you think 99% of users here aren't also redditors
Most users may use reddit, but there's a difference between that and being a redditor.

Watched couple of days ago, Shit was brutal af and i can't get out of my head the jail scene. Also, One of the child prostitutes in the film got killed later by the the green river killer

Completely intellectually dishonest take of that movie, they also fetch water from the well.

Perhaps The Master and Margarita.

I haven't read it yet, but The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis might also be what you're looking for,
