Reviews Featuring Joss Ackland

A Zed and Two Noughts
While it is hard to look away from a messy accident (especially when a low-flying swan is involved), that does not mean that the spectacle is especially pleasurable. Still, even when Peter Greenaway is not on his best form, his films are always well worth seeing - and 'A Zed and Two Noughts' is certainly an original, and full (too full, even) of ideas.
