Slick, sick and still a bit boring ...
20 January 2009 by vram22 (United States)
The visuals and music of this documentary could have come from an
inspirational or motivational movie. Amazingly, it comes from
something as estranged as this subject matter. "Zoos", as they're
known, is a shortened form for zoophile; they are people who have an
amorous and sexual interest in animals.
This documentary delicately approaches the secret lifestyle of those
who engaged in this activity at a Washington state horse ranch around
2005. After a rambling start, it ultimately focuses on those who
associated with a Boeing engineer named Kenneth Pinyan. He died of
"internal injuries" related to "interaction" with a horse.
Just as a good, atmospheric horror movie can put your mind on hold
while it glosses over things that you would normally object to, so too
does this movie. There's a lot of indirect talking, smoke and mirrors,
etc. that get you off your guard and caught up in the beautiful
imagery and music... so don't get too carried away with the
film-making aspect... remember what it's about.
Subject matter aside, it is a bit long-winded. There's a bit too much
dialog (mostly scripted with actors) about each person's generic
philosophies. It's OK at first, but then it sounds a bit like
pointless rambling. Even though it's an unusual subject matter, I
can't really recommend watching this because I'm not sure what you'll
get out of it... I'm not quite sure what I got out of it.
