Ah, the novel had missed my radar entirely until now, thank you!
Recently I've been enjoying films that cover little niches of the world, geographic or otherwise, that I know nothing about. Another good example is Premium Rush (2012). I don't know if there's a name for this genre, as on the surface the films look nothing alike, and can vary wildly in quality, but there's just something engrossing about them.

Beautiful little film; great photography and music.

(although I recommend not reading anything about it beforehand)
