It’s possible to watch this funny, complex mid seventies dramadey as a “dazed and confused” style teen farce OR as a “Shampoo” style adult drama about teens, but to get the most out of it, and it really is quite good, you have to watch it as both at once.
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.
