CINEMA
The color of Pomegranates, by Sergei Parajanov (its a masterpiece)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Color_of_Pomegranates

The Holy Mountain, by Alejandro Jodorowsky (this one you can't breathe its so good, ending i'm struggling with...relevant but a bit displaced, which i think was the intention)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071615/

Andrei Trakosvsky, the master of russian cinema: check out "Stalker," "Nostalgia," " The Sacrifice" " The Mirror" (he has another one called Andrei Rublev which is very slow, so you have to be in the mood...his cinema is exquisite. He also has book called "Sculpting in Time" which is beautiful.

"Time of the Gypsies" & "Underground" by Emir Kusturika, some easter eurpoeans hate him cause they say he stereotypes gypsies, which i can see, but he's a great form-maker....you can see Buster Keaton's trace in his work

Igmar Bergmann (one of my all time favourites)
check "Persona," "Faithless," "The Seventh Seal"

Pier Paolo Passolini:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier_Paolo_Pasolini

"The Invention of Morel" by Adolfo Bioy Casares

"The Inhuman" by Jean-Francois Lyotard

"Dancer" & "Zoli" by Colum McCann (his style is beatiful & ravishing, he works in fictional autobiographies, questioning what is real and what is fcition—which is really one and the same.

"The Varieties of Scientific Experience" by Carl Sagan (he calls himself a scientist, but I thik he's also a poet)

"Memories, Dreams & Reflections" by Carl Jung
