Despite my esteemed co-blogger’s words to the contrary, down by law, one of jim’s earliest films, is a subtle and bewitching gem of a movie that continues to haunt me.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
