\u201cIt is my dubious privilege to confirm the fact that man never invented anything that he didn\u2019t eventually put to use.\u201d That\u2019s how Tomata du Plenty (played by the punk singer of the same name) describes the nuclear apocalypse that has left him the eponymous sole survivor in Dutch writer-director Rene Daalder\u2019s 1986 film Population: 1<\/i>, and in the scrawny, wiry actor\u2019s voice there\u2019s as much delectation as warning.
