Though beautifully shot, I wouldn't recommend this to anyone unless your idea of a good time involves watching two beautiful, self-involved drama queens argue irritatingly with each other for an hour forty six.
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.
hat tip tomi for the assist on the word "irratatingly", since, if I've leaned anything from this movie (which I have not), it's that you got to pubkically thank your partner when you get the chance.
