Redford Owes Us All An Apology

Maybe the Dutch aren't beating us in the race to the bottom.
When the Sundance Festival isn't screening anti-Bush screeds and kiddie porn they're viewing "smart as it eloquent" documentaries on bestiality. Yes a film on bestiality called... wait for it... Zoo.
And in case you are thinking that this must be a condemnatory piece let's hear the views of one reviewer...
Not graphic in the least, this strange and strangely beautiful film combines audio interviews (two of the three men involved did not want to appear on camera) with elegiac visual re-creations intended to conjure up the mood and spirit of situations. The director himself puts it best: "I aestheticized the sleaze right out of it."


Elegiac: expressing sorrow or lamentation
