Oliver Deuce, a successful doctor, is shattered when his wife is killed in a freak car accident involving the car being driven by Alba Bewick colliding with a very large rare bird. His twin brother Os...( read more  read more... )wald is researching how carcasses decay at the local zoo. Alba survives the accident although she loses one leg, and her sinister physician eventually removes the other 'because it looked so sad all alone'. Oswald and Oliver become involved in a menage a trois with Alba, and uncover very dubious trafficking in zoo property. But ultimately their only goal is to try and understand their mortal condition.

    A totally bizarre film filled with Greenaway's unique touches.
    A Zed & Two Noughts (Zoo) focuses on Oliver and Oswald Deuce, twins brothers and zoologists. When both of their wives die in a car crash they become obsessed with death and decay ( featuring some brilliant time-laps...( read more)e photography sequences.) They also both enter into a relationship with the driver of their wives car crash, the now one-legged Alba Bewick. As well as this there is a whole wealth a strange character's including the Zoo's very own prostitute named Venus De Milo and a crazy surgeon Van Meegerin with a strange fascination with amputations.
    Not necessarily an easy film to watch, but as always with Greenaway definitely worth watching if only to see and hear the amazing visual and audio treats.

    I hate to be shallow, but it does suffer from its 80s-ness. Muddy lighting, big hair and garish clothing are very distracting to me. But hell, you can't complain too much when you've got such a suptuous display of Greenaway's talents as this. It really is awe-inspiring in its sym...( read more)metrical beauty. Gorgeous.

    I've seen some crazy freakin movies but I think this one tops them all. I'm not even quite sure if I liked the movie, but I know everyone should watch it. This movie will leave you thinking wtf did I just watch. I can't really put in words what the movie is about, it involves two...( read more) zoologists, death, a swan and a amputee.

    An earlier effort from the pretentious and wonderful Peter Greenaway. A good companion piece to Cronenberg's 'Dead Ringers.'
