my only criticism here is that the style and setting are so raw and magnetic that they stand on their own; sometimes the weirdness of the characters gets a little old and ends up distracting from the amazing filmmaking.
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.
