Definitely artsy, interspersed with amazing moments (young donald sutherland as a hippie priest is my favorite, also plenty of great views of early 70s new york), this nihilistic romance drama can't quite decide if it's silly or serious, and is unfortunately a bit too scattered and uneven to achieve greatness.
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.
