Zoo (1988)

전형적인 할리우드 관습의 서스펜스 스릴러. 한 백만장자의 죽음을 둘러 싸고 그의 아름다운 아내, 그녀의 정부, 킬러간의숨가쁜 관계를 흥미롭 게 묘사하고 있다. 이러한 설정은 지금껏 할리우드의 장르영화에서 수없 이 차용한 구조. 하지만(진실과 탐욕)의 경우, 아름다운 미망인을 "흑 인"으로 상정한 것이나 지극히 가벼운 신세대식 사랑법을 첨가. 장르 답습의지겨운 흥행논리에 변화를 주려고 했다. 감독인 에이미 홀든 존스는데미 무어 주연의 흥행작, (은밀한 관계), 애완견영화의 선두주자 (베토 벤) 등에서 필력을 과시했던 시나리오작가 출신. 그녀의 감독 데뷔작이기 도 한 (진실과 탐욕)은장르영화의 오밀조밀한 재미보다는 흑진주 할 베 리의 매력에 더 기대를 걸 만한 흥미위주의 작품.
