A Zed & Two Noughts

Two women passengers die in a car crash as a result of which the female driver has a leg amputated. The zoologist twin husbands of the dead women grow fascinated by the processes of decay; their studies soon include an affair with the amputee and the liberation animals from a zoo. Tirelessly provocative, sexy, funny and stylish, the film is also a tribute to Vermeer and an exploration of the trauma of loss, man's relationship with animals and the attraction of lists. Wonderful cinematography from Sacha Vierny and a thrilling score by Michael Nyman.
