for any old movie this one's pretty great, in that it's entertaining, provocative, and earns its 2.5 hour runtime - but for a collaboration between nabokov and kubrick, I don't think it really lives up to its potential.
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.
