Really cool use of film footage to create a new film, goes way into depth on Los Angeles as city and character and backdrop and cultural phenomenon, sort of wasted on me since I've never been there, but I liked the narrator's voice.
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.
