Zoo

Directed by Robinson Devor1h 16m2007

Through interviews and recreation, Zoo tells the story of "zoos," or men who "love" animals, through a group of men involved in the fatal incident involving man-horse love.

Our read: Zoo (2007) reads as a heavy, slow-burn, surreal documentary entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
