Necropolis (film)
Necropolis is a 1970 Italian-British fantasy horror film directed by Franco Brocani. A dissertation on human evil through the ages, it is considered a cult film,[1][2] and it was referred to as "a fusion between an Andy Warhol-style improvisation and an ambitious, esoteric subtext that summons all the Western counterculture of the time".[2]

Critical reception
Time Out praised the film, commending the film's range, score, and Brocani's "contemplative" approach to the material.[3]
gollark: They'll have to be run through our accelerated maturation process in order to comprehend esobot by 2023, but it should be fine.
gollark: Their gender can be edited as needed for the plan.
gollark: Then we had to extrapolate forward to that child's likely future partners, reran the process again and got a grandchild!
gollark: We just extrapolated into the future to find LyricLy's likely partners' genomes, averaged them, mixed it with our recording of LyricLy's genes, and then generated a child from the result.
gollark: Also our simulators.
