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

god I wish that were me

Bresson's movies are like that too. Almost theatrical by their stiffness. Curiously it doesn't make them bad.

You mean Capote.
Nolan Baker
Thank you, I needed to know if you thought these were good or not.
Angel Lee
Ah, you're right. Never saw it
The only think you liked was bourgeoisie nostalgia? Was it the fart jokes?
Imagine thinking that Fanny and Alexander isn't the best movie on that list by far
Xavier Richardson
beautiful girl
James Long
Its really nice actually. The only feel good picture on the list I guess. What do you think of Happy-Go-Lucky, Nights of Cabiria, or Captain Fantastic?
ouch butter what happened. Why can't we do something cool on this site together? Weren't we last night? Don't we have a large influence? what happened to you today? Aren't you interested in me?

Everything by Paul Thomas Anderson except maybe his first film is Yea Forums. Moonlight and Beale Street are very Yea Forums, especially the latter since it's based off a James Baldwin novel.
The use of MC is so fucking reddit-tier I cringe to see it here. Just type "protagonist."
