Adria (Rasmussen) is a young Serbian woman who is living in Kosovo in 1999, during the latter days of the civil war and ethnic violence that swept through the nation. Adria is befriended by a man who is kind to her but is emotionally unstable, and with his help they escape to Belgrade, which is safer but still gripped by crime and violence. In time, Adria makes her way to Marseille, but she enters France illegally, and as she tries to make a new life, she's constantly looking out for the authorities who could throw her out of the country at a moment's notice. As Adria deals with the dilemmas of her uncertain present, she often finds herself looking back on the agonies that have informed her life. Human Zoo was an official selection at the 2009 Berlin International Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Leslie Felperin, Variety
Flashback-threaded tale of a half-Serbian, half-Albanian immigrant living in Gaul is an incoherent, mostly poorly acted muddle that doesn't even look very good, despite the work of normally ace lenser Thierry Arbogast.
