Why you might like this:
Fans of provocative sci-fi thrillers will enjoy the bleak yet thoughtful vision of director Michael Campus in the 1972 film Z.P.G. The premise - a future where having children is illegal - is ripe for social commentary, and the performances of Oliver Reed and Geraldine Chaplin add emotional depth to the ethically fraught narrative.
About

It was inspired by the best-selling 1968 non-fiction book The Population Bomb, by Paul R. Ehrlich.

Filmed in Denmark, the film is almost entirely set-bound featuring art direction designed to reflect a bleak, oppressive future.
