Probably anything with a strong poetic value and catholic imagery. Paradise Lost, maybe.

Unrelated but what novels prevent a similar sense of empathy and brotherhood present in much Russian film aside from the obvious?

I'm always floored by their consistency in comparison to many an italian, french, or of course american cinema which can often turn a blind eye to cruelty.

a pseud. Tarkovsky is barely above middlebrow and I can't really fathom Veeky Forums's obsession with him

t. /tv/

lol
He's one of the only filmmaker who truly understood what cinema was about. There might be like only 10 of them. Tarkovsky, Bresson and Antonioni are the best directors who ever lived.

Too bad their writing is kind of bad. Notes on cinematography and Sculpting in time are interesting, but not that great.

Really? you've managed to fathom the film worlds obsession with Tarkovsky for the past 4 decades but not Veeky Forumss?

Tell me what canonical authors you don't like that you simply can't conceive anyone else liking at all.

I'm sure you've got refined enough taste in Mexican noir films and Hungarian tv dramas to make your opinion worth shit.

>catholic
>Tarkovsky

And Milton, but catholics can be surprisingly inclusive sometimes, or grabby.
