> I honestly say the films from Tarr are arguably the best book-to-film adaptations ever, especially Sátántangó, he is the master of literary filmmaking where the spirit of text comes across the screen perfectly.

If that is so, then these are books that you read to experience ultimate ennui?

I know the films, I've watched them all, but doing e.g. Satantango in book form sounds not so enticing?
