A masterpiece of modern cinema, “A Zed and Two Noughts” is Peter Greenaway’s beautifully disturbing and darkly humorous take on erotic obsession and death. In a horrific automobile-swan accident in front of the Rotterdam Zoo, two women die. The two widowers, twin zoologists, fixate on their wives’ bodies, and slowly become obsessed with evolution and decomposition.
