Silly movie that definitely put all its budget into its heroic Samuel Becket-like never-ending car chase at the expense of story and pacing, but despite all that it has some great shots of Los Angeles and the people of the city in the 70s.
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.
