Empire Of The Mind Probably closest to what youre looking for in this list of my recs. This was a purely philosophy channel to begin with and turned into film analysis a couple years ago.

Every Frame A Painting Gorgeous, focused more on cinematography though; specific scenes and their themes like use of space&time, scores, editing, shots, comedy, action etc.

by Clarice Lispector. cannot recommend this book enough for strange young women.
she verbalizes internal sensations and animal knowledge I didn’t think possible to express. if ur a little feral and cruel and fiercely in love with life then this book is for u.
