I was looking down the side of the stairs this morning (we use the space between balusters as owned, previous watched films shelf space - not to be confused with the bookcase set aside for owned, new films space) and spied Ace Ventura: Pet Detective which had been brought down from the media room last week and was promptly forgotten. After sitting quietly, patiently through The Zookeeper’s Wife (2017) last night, I couldn’t help but notice the thematic pastiche, the intertextuality of these two movies - the gentle, subtle laying down of leifmotif… I’m sorry but it just seems obvious - I’m calling it - The Zookeeper’s Wife is the clear the spiritual successor of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
