I really like Eisenberg and Stewart in American Ultra so I gave this a chance but really woody allen should’ve stopped in the 70s; this was short but felt long, just schlocky, overdone, boring, self-indulgent, unbelievable, and annoying.
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.
