Cool that you've seen and liked that French animated movie.
I've been reading a lot more now (as Werner Herzog insists that we do) and watching less. Also kinda pissed at some of the cinephiles there. My username probably says a lot.
I read a lot too and always have - love the work of Herzog by the way, especially the films with Klaus Kinski ( ever watched the documentary about their love / hate relationship? ) - but I think that advice is meant for filmmakers. Do you ( plan to ) make movies too? I used to and back then watching movies felt different.
By the way, your letterboxd description made me laugh. I don't mind being called a cinephile ( as it literally means you love movies ) but don't like to be called a film snob, as once happened here on Discord. I'm not ashamed of sharing my knowledge about movies, I studied film after all but what you watch or like is up to you.
And yeah, we've got quite some favorites in common, I just tend to watch way less mainstream / blockbuster movies these days and if I do, I prefer the classics.
See you around!
