Production
[edit]The film is partially based on the experiences of Rie Rasmussen's adopted sister, a Vietmanese immigrant to Denmark.[2] In an interview with Ain't It Cool News, Rasmussen said about the film's sex scenes, "I wanted to see it for real, and I wanted it to be from a female's point of view. Yeah, he is going down on her. It's in one take. There's no fu*king cutting in and out and making it all romantic and rosey and shit. This is one take, and that's how it is. It's clumsy, it's sexy, it's hardcore, and he is going down on her."[3]
Reception
[edit]Leslie Felperin of Variety described the film as "an incoherent, mostly poorly acted muddle that doesn't even look very good."[4] Quentin Tarantino spoke favorably of Human Zoo, calling it "an electrifying directorial debut."[2]
