Have you seen pic related, OP? How does it compare to the novel? It's one of my favorite films, and you've reminded me that I need to read the book it's based on.

>>9582900
I haven't, but i've been meaning to

>>9583172
It's brilliant in my opinion, very underrated relative to the rest of Kubrick's filmography and also as a standalone work, critics weren't too impressed with it. Definitely see it.

>>9583172
Not that anon but it's pretty gr8. I didn't know it was based on a book, so now it's on my list.

DoV and The Sleepwalkers are infinity more substantial and produce a greater depth of intensity than that self-indulgent French faggot ever could in all of his seven volumes. Seriously, go fuck with Broch and come back and apologize for being this stupid.

This is on my reading list. I hear different things about it. Masterpiece. Piece of shit. Mediocre. Boring. Deeply human.

Can you tell me more about it? I will read it, but I'm curious what to expect and what make P. White so monolithic.
