Have you tried any Antoine de Saint-Exupéry yet?
I also recommend Baudelaire's "Flowers of Evil" to help with vocabulary, since there's lots of English translations, and it's dope.
For movies, I hope you've seen 'Jean de Floret' and 'Manon of the Spring.'
TMI, I studied French in HS & college.

And lots of Tintin and other bande dessinée.
Since French classical music, new wave films, bande dessinées, and St. Thérèse, etc... are still important to me. I love the medieval stuff, too.
I've only read some of Baudelaire and Thérèse's things, since at the time I was more focused on medieval/early modern stuff like Chrétien de Troyes, François Villon, du Bellay, etc....Someday I'll get back to them.
'Manon' is a sequel to 'Jean.'
Or all of the above? 😅
I used to read a lot of de Lubac back in the day, but stopped before I got to Bathasar like I planned to.
Someday I'll get back to him.
