would it be kino?

Yea but only if severian is a based retard like in the book

grow up

>It is my nature, my joy and curse, to forget nothing. Every rattling chain and whistling wind, every sight, smell, and taste, remains changeless in my mind, and though I know it is not so with everyone, I cannot imagine what it can mean to be otherwise, as if one had slept when in fact an experience is merely remote.
I look like this and say this

70% of the appeal of these books is its not clear whats happening and a visual version of it would instantly ruin that aspect

So through short sun it sort of retroactively states that the cumian (witch) was an inhuma and that severian was dreamwalking like silkhorn does in short sun?

cringe

>>213305159
Yeah most of the book is serverian getting lost in thought and sidetracked which would he damn hard to ever pull off. I think the story could be done but people would see it as shallow or boring without the narration giving it soul

no one is capable of making kino now, so no.

if it was terry gilliam with a huge budget, maybe (but that would not happen)

There are no villains in botns

what the fuck was going on in with the hut in the jungle?

Did you finish the series?
It was a glimpse into the past of white humans encountering the peoples that worshiped the the Head of Day.
Isangoma could see them as they were, phantoms

It would be autiskino

No it would not be “kino”. It would be shit, because the book is shit. Get better taste, /sffg/ plebs.

i read the main 4, and the 5th on the spaceship. maybe it'll make more sense a second time.

>>213305518
The 5th explains it fully when severian takes the corridors of time. The 3 cacogens explain it to him.
But yes the series demands a second read. Im on my 10th right now and halfway through the third book and it still so good

>>213305233
You forgot the random spurts of nonchalant violence to solve trivial problems. God, Severian is my favorite fictional autist. But yeah as a whole this series would never work on film, although there are some specific moments that would be kino as fuck in isolation

>Alzabo fight
>Typhon's ridiculously anticlimactic defeat out of nowhere via human fist

For me, i would love to see an animation of the stories from the brown book. The Story of the boy named Frog and the Man Who was Fleshed From Dreams.
