This movie typifies all the good bad and ugly of what happens when you give Tarantino too much money - the shots and cast, the music the set the acting, all really well done, and the plot, it's got that great Tarantino zazz that you have to love even if the man is super annoying, but the style, the cuts, the fourth-wall-breaking narration and random on-screen text, they're just too much, too inconsistent, and they take away from a pretty interesting idea for a story.
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.
