[Loopjump]

The crew had set some streets in the lights for filming some scenes of this movie when we cycled the streets to uptown Rotterdam in the summer twilight.

One of the most atmospheric experiences I remember in combination with the watching of this movie

[djbethell]

This film saved my life when I was 21.

[xxtiaan]

@djbethell what? you became a prostitute and a zebra and a one legged ape narrated by david attenborough? holy fuckle

[wga35o]

On of my favourite films, pretentious at times, but the music lifts it beyond that.

[oRougeDollieo]

This is such a beautiful piece. Myself, and my music class were playing this piece yesterday on the keyboards. I really love it; it sounds so familiar, yet I have no idea where I've heard it.

[UnsightlyRogue]

its very nice this song!

[Qcommander]

well done, I really like to listen to this song (Y)

[loftusroadw12]

The Guy must be a QPR supporter?

[PompayBurnz]

did you know the film was made from the music? they used to music to make the movie.

[jijbloodkill]

@PompayBurnz ye, i did

[OllieDeacon1234]

well done dad and uncle brian you never told me your were the main parts in this movie

[hofmeier]

Another fine arrangement, Dr. Kakouris.

[studiolog]

Thank you,Mr Hofmeier.

[Bradius123]

The thing about this film is, it screams pretension, however its realy watchable. I'd say that about all greenways movies. like broccoli and carrots dripped in sugar.

[volo54]

@Bradius123 exactly...you can also call it pretentious.

[miznarik]

3.00 - 3.04min:

snails finaly having fun in a movie..

[perolerolero]

The film is about loss, decay, Vermeer, zoology... I don´t know, Greeanaway at his weirdest. Masterpiece.

[GymBabe]

I haven't seen the film so someone PLEASE tell me wtf is that thing at 2mins and all the snails and all the dying animals?!

lovin the music! ;)

[andres6868]

The movie is about two twins zoologists who study the decay of animals.

[GymBabe]

Nice! thanks ;)

[Thecultofsia]

Do yourself a favor and please check out this movie, especially if you like non conventional films and very dark humor. It's a bit hard to find, but I think they just re released it. You may absolutely hate this film or love it, but rergardless won't regret seeing it.

[ivanclaysburgh]

In addition to andres6868's reply, the wives of the two twins die in the same car crash, and the lady who was screaming with no legs was the one responsible for their death...her and the swan. (I won't give the ending away).

[therustedeye]

Hello darling, how are the zebras?

[Thecultofsia]

black & white...

[valiblue]

the film toghether with the music are a veritable art work!

[lewishall92]

they actually made the soundtrack before the film. for the film

[Graddee]

the piece is great but i thought the film was a bit wierd for my liking

[vidaddict667]

A brilliant peice! Notice how it startes from just the Bass and ends up with a full blown melody? Classic ground Bass cleverly done! Masterpeice!

[stantones]

No doubt someone will be outraged by me saying this, but this montage of images from the film is, for me, better than the film itself. The film is fantastic to look at and I love Nyman's music, but as a piece of cinema I found it to contain too many muddled and distracting ideas. There is only one thing more pretentious than 'A Zed and Two Noughts' and that is the commentary track on the DVD.

[TedGoranson69]

I have not heard the commentary, but I strongly get the impression that Greenaway is rarely interested in telling a compelling story or thematic material. His main interests have always been aesthetic and and playing simple games with the audience. I don't know whether he's pretentious or not, but he's certainly more bearable than Godard.

[crazikitti123]

I think this is an absolutley fantastic compostion. Thank you fo rputting this on here x
