Soylent Green may be 50 years old, but it ages well and it is still delicious!

In Germany, this film had the terrible title "... year 2022 ... those who want to survive". There was a (not very successful) punk band in Germany called "Soilent Green" in the eighties, and there still is a metal band in the U.S. with this name. Lots of people know what Soylent Green means.

I still remember when I saw that movie for the first time, and this was more than 40 years ago. I still remember what it did to me when I first heard the sentence "Soylent Green is human flesh!".
I watched the movie again three or four years ago. It still works. Excellent film.
Best regards,
