PARK CITY, Utah -- "Zoo" is a documentary about what director Robinson Devor accurately characterizes as "the last taboo, on the boundary of something comprehensible." But remarkably, an elegant, eerily lyrical film has resulted.For a minute while I was reading this, I was certain that I was reading a movie review from the USCCB...(remember BB Cowboy?)
"Zoo," premiering before a rapt audience Saturday night at Sundance, manages to be a poetic film about a forbidden subject, a perfect marriage between a cool and contemplative director (the little-seen "Police Beat") and potentially incendiary subject matter: sex between men and animals. 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."
Regarding this moral depravity:
"It happens," the filmmaker said, "so it's part of who we are."Deeper and deeper we sink into the abyss of immorality...no doubt, in the name of tolerance and diversity...After our children are indoctrinated in the wonderful "freedom" of reproductive "choice", the "glories" of homosexuality, the empty promises of cures from the harvesting of fellow human beings, and the deep "love" expressed by pedophiliacs, they will hear all about the "beauty" of bestiality. After all, "it's part of who we are" - it's what we have become.
