Peter Greenaway - A Zed And Two Noughts, 1985
Ericka

Greenaway's strange world through the lens of Sacha Vierny

Peter Greenaway's A Zed & Two Noughts is definitely in my top 10 list for strangest films I've ever seen -- along with Aram Avakian's outré End of the Road and David Blair's jarring Wax, Or the Discovery of Television Among the Bees. And just to give you a heads up: there is real time lapsed decomposition of a corpse/corpses in this movie. That said, there is also some striking cinematography. I think it's Greenaway in his most "out there" moment, especially when compared to the less challenging but creatively unique and brilliant The Cook The Thief His Wife And Her Lover. I could easily ascribe a meaning to Greenaway's strangest work, but I'd rather YOU tell me what you think -- when it comes to an assessment of this movie. Most of the people who were in the theater where I saw A Zed & Two Noughts actually got up out of their chairs and walked out. So, by the end of the movie, there was just me and one other person left. Not exactly musical chairs or your everyday, garden-variety popcorn and slushee experience. Cinematic social darwinism, I guess. Survival of the toughest! Hahahaha.
