ZOO: A ZED & TWO NOUGHTS / THE LADY IN THE RED HAT

"An American critic wrote that she would rather be forced to read the New York telephone directory three times than watch the film A Zed and Two Noughts, a third of which was a homage to Vermeer. Conceivably, if you are a list-enthusiast like me, the New York telephone directory might be fascinating, demographically, geographically, historically, typographically, cartographically; but I am sure no compliment was intended."

"The overall visual master-of-ceremonies of the film was to be Vermeer - adroit and prophetic manipulator of the two essentials of cinema - the split-second of action,
and drama revealed by light."

(PETER GREENAWAY)

"ZOO no tuvo éxito, pero es un filme que me gusta mucho y si pudiera volver a hacer una película con los medios de que dispongo ahora sería esa."
