Necrology

“In ‘Necrology’, one continuous shot films the faces of a 5 p.m. crowd descending via Pan Am building elevators. In old-fashioned black and white, these faces stare into empty space…like faces from the grave… The film is one of the strongest and grimmest comments upon the contemporary society that cinema has produced.” – Jonas Mekas, Village Voice
