>>221092427(OP) Depp was still doing "weird little freak with a job" instead of pirate cosplay, the pacing is pure rainy eurotrash detective kino, and the whole movie feels like it smells like old paper, tobacco, and damp hotel rooms.
Also it understands occult shit is cooler when it's boring rich people, forged engravings, and quiet coincidences instead of CGI demons screaming at the camera. The devil being some smug French whore silently mogging everyone is just the cherry on top.

>>221092427(OP) Mysterious and atmospheric while also being funny and campy at the same time, also Corso is a total wish fulfillment character that the viewer can self-insert as. A book detective who smokes and drinks and fucks hot bitches and is chosen to by Satan to be his personal librarian down in hell and live forever as an immortal demon prince. Lucky bastard
>>221092427(OP) Everything. Great actors. Fantastic atmosphere. Supreme ASMR conversations. Old books are cool in general. A thousand more little things.

Is the lack of smoking a serious problem in modern movies? I say yes
