Jack Nicholson is always great at playing a stylish asshole, and in this character study of a lost and broken former piano player he does that quite well; movie didn’t have much more of a point to it than that tho.
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.
