A Zed and Two Noughts is an extraordinary tale of obsession in which the zoologist twin husbands of two women killed in a car crash start an affair with the female driver who has had a leg amputated. Tirelessly provocative, funny and stylish, the film also pays tribute to the Dutch master of light Vermeer, delves into man’s relationship with animals and explores the attraction of lists. Full of surprises and magnificent conundrums, Peter Greenaway’s third feature is as perversely comic and teasing as it is shocking. Score by Michael Nyman.

The best film for autumn meditation.
Freud explored strange psychologic phenomen in psyche called Thanatos urge (death drive) and this film is one of the best visualization for this dark mechanism of traumatized libido.
If your longing and emotional memory or mental connotations are producing to you pain and repetative compulsion recollection, you may have urge to dissolve pain and life longing all together.
Balanced life has fresh hold on libido but if your self image or hope is disturbed, thanatos urge may take over. Wars, soldier glory, masochism and fascism are the most disturbing and socially general phenomena for thanatos urge. Suicide is only one side of this suggestive road.
