review by
Mike Haberfelner

J.J. (Ethan Hawke) is a secret service agent stationed in Rome, and even though the city is basically depleted of people due to the pandemic, that's no reason for the undeclared war between the agencies not going on as strong as ever, a war where J.J. has no idea whether he's on the right side or if his employers won't drop him at any point for their convenience. And J.J.'s weapon of choice is the camera, as whoever controls the images controls the "truth". Thus when he blows up the Vatican, it's above all important that he delivers the right pictures. But the camera can just as easily be used against him, as eventually some Russian operatives catch him and force him to have sex on camera with one of their own - and suddenly he's in the crosshairs of those he has worked for ...

 

Now above is only an approximation to what Zeros and Ones might actually be about, as the film very intentionally eplains very little, leaves plenty of room for interpretation, and plays with genre conventions in a very cerebral way, and through its very maze-like plot the film actually gets to the heart of its subject matter. And Abel Ferrara's very raw directorial approach really fits the story well, making this a film that surely isn't for everyone, but a fascinating one if you're willing to go on a mind trip.
