Review of Zozo

Zozo (2005)
6/10
Loud explosions will keep you from falling asleep
6 February 2006
I saw this film at the Palm Springs International Film Festival and it's director Josef Fares introduced the film and took Q&A after. This really looks like a film not a movie. It has great cinematography and sound and music. Elias Gergi as the grandfather is outstanding and it's a great role. Imad Creidi in the title role of Zozo is very good. I could do without the chicken however. There very few other characters of interest in this film. Zozo's survival and how he made his way to Sweden from Lebanon seemed a little far-fetched. I felt the script was a little weak. This movie had some great production value to it but it wasn't enough to carry it beyond good to the excellent level and was no where near being superb. I would give this a 6.5 on a scale of 10 but I wouldn't see it twice.
