A Zed and Two Noughts
Manage episode 242532952 series 1129695
Thank you to our Co-producer patron Miriam Meaney for selecting this week's topic!
This 1985 Peter Greenaway film approaches storytelling with the perspective that there is no meaning to reality despite our organized attempts to create it. We talk about how Greenaway uses the traditions of Dutch paintings and anatomical animal studies to get this message across or frustrate us by trying.
