Zoo

A nice surprise from Denmark. The story revolves around a sad couple who are not far from divorce, but due to adverse conditions (a zombie apocalypse has just broken out) they are forced to stick together in order to survive, while bonding and trying to save their marriage. The film is full of dark humor and I downright laughed out loud a few times. I found the uncovering of the wife's secret very funny (what she has been hiding in the closet all this time is downright hilarious). The film also has creative ideas and there are some unwelcome guests that make the uncomfortable stuffiness hang in the air. The zombies are unfortunately only on the periphery here, but I still really enjoyed this Danish indie affair. It won't be for everyone, but if you tune into the film's mood you'll have a decent time. It doesn't have much to do with horror though. 75%. (28/05/2019)

Décidément, les Danois parviennent toujours à nous captiver et à nous surprendre ! Impossible de dénier l’originalité de ce film, notamment avec le genre qui change toutes les 15 minutes. Les personnages ne sont pas légion, mais on ne s’ennuie pas pour autant. Les deux protagonistes centraux impressionnent par leur anglais impeccable et la façon crédible dont ils interprètent des gens qui ont tout perdu, mais se sont gagnés mutuellement. Le final est extrêmement touchant, notamment grâce à l’Adagio, lequel résonne encore dans ma tête une heure après avoir vu le film. (24/01/2021)
