I believe @Juvenann was initially only really trying to say that movies can be incredibly enriching in their own way, a different experience from books.
Myself, I don’t see much point in comparing the two, the mediums are vastly different, they allow us to experience stories in two extraordinary ways. I adore books and spend substantially more time reading than watching films, etc... but I also see a huge amount of value in the film medium. Immersing oneself in the films of Tarkovsky, for example, can be an almost transcendent experience.

There’s an oblique and delirious quality to the film. I love the poetic way in which he melds and blurs the lines of sleep, death, and dreams. The film omits some of the more fantastical and outlandish scenes from the book, but perhaps that’s a good thing due to the era.
The Saragossa Manuscript is my favourite of his. I love the nesting doll nature of the tales within, how elliptical it is, disorienting, and the way the tales seem to infiltrate one another subtly to create one overarching narrative of gothic nightmare.

It's great to watch many movies, they are as enriching as a book (from another perspective, of course, and depending on what movies you see) .
I've seen the movie last night, thank you very much for the recommendation. It's a great film, a very peculiar surrealist tale. The end disappointed me a little, after everything that happened, but it's compensated by the wonderful way in which all the journey that the protagonist undertakes is filmed, makes you feel that you are inside that world, it's great. Those scenographiess, that lighting
