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: I can write a sandbox which actually works.
gollark: I'm not stupid.
gollark: That just loops you round to the potatOS root.
