ZOO. An absurdist, dadaist film for viewers who can reflect on the spoken words (the script is dense with odd factoids), the minimalist music, the visuals (electrical lighting, red hats, black and white fauna, twins and Vermeer paintings) and the effect of time-lapse photography on both growth and decay. Greenaway's collaboration with cinematographer Sacha Vierny and composer Michael Nyman is a gift for film viewers. The film brings to the fore some of the absurdist common strands between two filmmakers: Peter Greenaway and Raoul Ruiz.
