 what
they say about Zen & Zero...
“If you ever needed reassurance that the rebel heart of surfing is still
beating strong under the slow strangulation of rampant mainstreaming,
this film is for you.”
“Employing a hardboiled Hunter S. Thompson-esque narration style crossed
with a driving, surf-meets-Spaghetti-Western soundtrack (masterfully
scored by Herwig Maurer), this soulful 16mm film lets you ride shotgun
on a 7,000-mile surfing pilgrimage, complete with flat tires, Federales
and happy buzzards feasting on bloated roadkill.”
- Steve Barilotti – Surfer Magazine
“We are like sailors who unable to dismantle their ship in the safety of
a dock must reconstruct it on the open sea.” Thus the philosopher Otto
Neurath defines the existential premise of Zen and Zero, and from it
this rather shabby but elegant noir opus sets its edge and glides
languidly forward between a wave of innocent early 21st century longing
and a reef of
seasoned European nihilism.”
