From director Peter Greenaway and currently streaming on Fandor. A Zed & Two Noughts is the inaugural film of the Strange Club 2018 winter season.

Fandor is also available via an Amazon Prime Fandor Channel or as part of a (highly recommended for film buffs) MoviePass subscription.

Yep, that's right! So basically I think the title for this one should've been something like "Strange Club Movie for Jan. 12: A Zed & Two Noughts", and then the actual movie post is made on Jan. 12.

I haven't seen this movie yet, but it's been at the top of my list to see for years. Excited to watch it.

Oh hey, just noticed the post now; I think I might watch tonight. I don't really know Greenaway for anything other than The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover and Prospero's Books (both of which were fairly infamous when I was a precocious teen who sneak-read Premiere magazine like most kids did with Playboy.), so this will be a nice revisit of his work.

Death, loss, obsession, decay and symmetry with Michael Nyman. A swan starts it all off. My favorite movie.

I'd rent the disk and loan it to people (you should see this, really you should) and it always came back late.

Parody

Trailer.

I have seen TCTTHW&HL , Prospero, and Drowning by Numbers. The trailer for Zed & Two Noughts looks a lot like my memory of Drowning by Numbers. I am looking forward to it.
