A Zed & Two Noughts

A Zed & Two Noughts (1985) is a Peter Greenaway art-house film you can watch online on iFILM. A car crash involving a white swan kills the wives of twin zoologists Oliver and Oswald. The woman driving survives, losing a leg. The brothers, both still at the same zoo, don't know how to grieve.

They start filming decomposition: dead animals in controlled conditions, time-lapse, decay recorded in careful sequence. Their entanglement with the amputee driver only deepens. Greenaway's characteristic visual logic — symmetry, still lifes, clinical framing — turns this into something far colder than grief. Watch A Zed & Two Noughts (1985) online on iFILM.
