Humanity’s worst impulses made tangible - Soylent Green is a tidy and compact noir about a Holocaust. Far more disturbing than I had anticipated and well acted
Feel like this film’s influence on movies as diverse as 13 Monkeys and Batman (1989) - to say nothing of political discourse and worse case fears of climate change is vastly underrated.
Love the noir royalty like Joseph Cotton and Edward G are given great character roles (and reunites Moses and Dathan).
So much more than the famous SNL skit - but of course also that skit also nails this film completely.
