Herostratus

The film follows a young poet named Max (Michael Gothard), who out of ennui and a desire for fame arranges with the marketer Farson (Peter Stephens) to commit suicide in public. Clio (Gabriella Licudi), an attractive woman who is Farson's secretary, aids Max in his goals. The film critiques consumerism and the advertising industry of the time, while also featuring themes of death, urbanisation, and the growing countercultural movement.
