Sunday Matinees with Hard Light Cinema: Zoo (1993)

This summer Hard Light will screen the “Beast of Burden” series. 8/2 Zoo (1993)

CW: this film contains graphic depictions of medical procedures and is intended for an adult audience.

ZOO sees the return of Frederick Wiseman to RPL with his visit to, you guessed it, a zoo. In his typical straightforward approach, Wiseman shows behind-the-scenes operations of the Miami Zoo – from janitors, to zookeepers, to the executive director – in contrast to its public-facing image. With masterful construction, Wiseman elucidates the mundane routines of keeping animals in cages.
