[to be read in a british accent]: While this undefineable multi-period period drama had slightly too much whimsy to truly ever know where it itself was going, one must applaud the ambition and weirdness, and Tilda Swinton is (as ever) a delight.
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.
