Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
As fascinating and exciting as the images are, however, the drama is ridiculous as all get out.

...[The filmmakers] produce so many remarkably composed and lit frames that the film is a joy to behold. Their model is Vermeer, and they often capture some of that 17th-Century Dutch painter's eerie tranquility, stillness and perfectly balanced depth...
Los Angeles Times
An enjoyably decadent, ridiculously convoluted thingamajig.

It's frustratingly interesting for the director's self-indulgences ...

None of Greenaway's films take place in anything resembling naturalism or realism, and they don't feel modern. They're like archaic storybook adaptations of Jacobean plays illustrated by Vermeer.

A big, over-the-top comedy, with a sense of humor probably best appreciated by misanthropic nihilists.

Despite overkill in the ideas department, which many will find too pretentious for comfort or coherence, visually, Zed is a masterpiece.

Eye for Film
Product Description:
The always elliptical Peter Greenaway once again creates a beautiful film-as-puzzle. The tale begins when a car wreck involving a rare swan kills the wife of a doctor (who has a twin brother, also a doctor). The brothers then form an unusual and strangely close relationship with the woman who was driving the car, now an amputee. Meanwhile, they organize elaborate studies on the decomposition of animals. It's all very beautiful to look at and makes a great companion piece to Cronenberg's 'Dead Ringers'.
