In Hollywood pitch rooms right now, Zoology is probably being retooled as a vehicle for Amy Schumer. The story of a lonely woman whose life gets turned around when she grows a tail, Ivan V. Tverdovsky’s follow up to 2014’s Corrections Class takes the conceit in a completely different direction. Instead, it’s a weird mix of zero-degree humour, Kafka-esque parable, social realism and Cronenbergian body horror but somehow Tverdovsky conjures up an almost fairy tale feel out of such disparate ingredients. It also finds the perfect centre in Pavlenkova, who makes Natasha’s journey memorable, believable and affecting.
