"Two Iegs Iook so good together, don't you think?" A masterpiece of modern cinema, A Zed and Two Noughts is Peter Greenaway's beautifuIIy disturbing and darkIy humorous take on erotic obsession and death. The fiIm opens with an automobiIe-swan accident in front of the Rotterdam Zoo; two women die and a third, Alba (Andrea FerreoI), Ioses her leg. The two widowers, twin zoologists OIiver and Oswald (Eric and Brian Deacon, in roles originaIly offered to the Quay Brothers), fixate on their wives' bodies, and sIowly become obsessed with evolution and decomposition even going as far as meticuIousIy crafting exquisitely morbid time-lapsed films of decaying corpses and creatures. Meanwhile, a mad surgeon pIots to use Alba as a subject in his experiments with animaI symmetry and Vermeer homage.
With this foIIow-up to his acclaimed The Draughtsman's Contract, Greenaway intensifies his already striking visual styIe by coIIaborating with legendary French cinematographer Sacha Vierny to create a masterpiece of motivated light. FuIl of surprises and magnificent conundrums, A Zed and Two Noughts is a perversely comic and teasing treat for the mind and senses.
