Even though I guess in hindsight the whole "outsider coming to show us how our society is silly and helping people disconnect and appreciate creation" thing is a well-used trope, this 90s french film does it so so damn well, it's just gorgeous, and beautiful, and every moment of it was perfect and funny and nice, and I loved it.
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.
