Conflict of Interest Zoo Roundup
posted by on January 26 at 13:15 PM
Charles is back from Sundance, and the final round of interviews and reviews (prior to the theatrical opening, of course) are trickling in.
Today, an article in The Seattle Times begins by noting that Charles Mudede and Robinson Devor “aren’t Northwest natives”. Quelle horreur! Say it ain’t so, Charles! I always imagined you were born in a woodsy, mossy grove, perhaps making your first pillow out of a clump of wood chips gathered near the merry-go-round at Ravenna Park. I don’t know if we can still be friends.
At Indiewire, critic Anthony Kaufman calls Zoo “a persuasive, provocative and deeply profound case for tolerance and understanding in the face of the seemingly most incomprehensible of acts.” I have to say, I think that’s going a little too far. Dennis Lim, the pre-New Times Village Voice critic, sneaks in an off-topic opinion too, calling the film “masterful”.
Seattlest, whose film coverage has been bizarrely aggro of late, has a very silly review of Zoo from Audrey Hendrickson: Apparently it’s either “European-seeming” or “ponderous to the point of boring.”
As a side note, what is with people insisting that the movie be either pro- or con-bestiality? Agitdocs have ruined us all.
Scuttlebutt has it that New York Times critic Manohla Dargis, an ardent fan of Mudede and Devor’s Police Beat, refused to see Zoo because she’s a member of PETA. Hmmm.
I know I'm way silly, but at least spell my name right: Hendrickson.
When is the film going to show in Seattle? Will you have a special screening with Charles in attendane?
Damn, I really tried. Note the d and the o? Oh well. I'll correct it immediately.
I don't understand-does the film glorify bestiality in some way? I would hope they would show it for the expoitive behavior that it is.
hilarious for the Stranger to be pointing out the "silliness" of reviews after last week's impassioned defense of Lindy West's criticism.
could PETA people possibly be more reactionary and misguided?
And why didn't they send you, dammit???!!
"could PETA people possibly be more reactionary and misguided?"
Huh? What the fuck did PETA do? Are they controlling Dargis' actions via some sort of hive-brain mechanism?
