A Zed & Two Noughts
This screening is part of the Cinelogue film strand at Depot, and our Peter Greenaway Mini Season
Twin zoologists, grieving the death of their wives in a collision involving a car and a swan, gradually form a bond with the woman who was driving the vehicle that caused their spouses’ demise.
The brothers become obsessed with death and decay in animals, creating time-lapse films to further their understanding. Rich in imagery, this visually stunning early feature by Greenaway remains one the filmmaker’s boldest challenges to conventional cinema.
'An enjoyably decadent, ridiculously convoluted thingamajig' - Nathan Lee, Village Voice
