Nashville (1975) is a long, challenging movie, with arresting imagery, overwhelmingly believable acting (with some early roles for Shelley Duval and Jeff Goldblum), and an important point to make - but if you aren't steeped in the history of the 70s you might never really get there.
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.
