The Elephant in the
Hying Room
NIGHTFLY Enjoyment
95 minutes
Will not be misled: The only animals you are going to see in a living space in this doc are a cougar and a Burmese python. (The runaway-slitheraway?--Gabon viper is nabbed in a garage.) Director Michael Webber's fastmoving, bittersweet movie unveils a earth of hazardous and totally unregulated pets (lions, tigers, bears) elevated powering closed doors. A good deal of the action normally takes site in suburban Ohio, a state that rivals elements of Florida for nuisance alligators. Concealed cameras rolling, we go to a reptile present where dads cart off snakes that could devour their offspring. But the authentic drama lies in the interplay between a passionate cop who moonlights as an exotic-animal rescuer and a sympathetic sadsack who won't be able to bear to piece with his complete-grown African lions. The cat owner's tear-jerking travails generate residence the filmmaker's position superior than any finger-wagging activist ever before could.--Michael Mechanic
