Could be the American Uncle by Resnais. Which if I recall well takes a rather conflicting and comple view of its subject. But then he was French... ;)
''Who decides? Who decides who decides?'' Reminds me of the final scene of 3 days of the Condor. The only movie about epidemics I like is The Andromeda Strain. The third act reveal is quite a shock even after almost 50 years. In one brief scene it manages to say so much ! but that was the 70s, SF movies were very HEAVY. Take Rollerball, for example. Today it looks like a reality show or the evening news. Oh well. This are sure some messed up times I never thought I would live through some entropic thing like this. Nuclear war? Yes. Mad Max? Yes. But this slow motion Ballard catastrophe? No way. So back to the ancients for advice- ''The Way of the Samurai is found in death. Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day when one's body and mind are at peace, one should meditate upon being ripped apart by arrows, rifles, spears and swords, being carried away by surging waves, being thrown into the midst of a great fire, being struck by lightning, being shaken to death by a great earthquake, falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease or committing seppuku at the death of one's master. And every day without fail one should consider himself as dead. This is the substance of the way of the samurai''.
