This might be one of my favorite novel adaptations ever. Apart from certain side plots needing to be truncated or erased for time (Las Vegas/Arrepentimiento/the whole boat chase) it felt remarkably faithful to the book and captured the feel of it perfectly, and in some cases the humor came out better (god those visual gags, I love how they didn't even bother explaining the absurdity behind the chocolate frozen bananas). And my straight-crush Joanna Newsom narrating and playing the effervescent sage Sortilege just topped off the cherry on the whole thing.

And the Black Panther-ish group working with the neo nazis. The whole movie is full of dualities.
