Animals [1] [2] is a 1998 American fantasy romance film written and directed by Michael Di Jiacomo in his directorial debut, and starring Tim Roth, Mili Avital and John Turturro. [1]
Filming occurred in South Carolina in March 1997. [1] The opening black-and-white 13-minute segment The Tollkeeper was shot in December 1996 in Utah. [2]
The Mail & Guardian gave the film a positive review: "Di Jiacomo’s screenplay for Animals blurs the levels of accepted reality and the magical, and while this may reveal a fascination with magical realism that is now becoming popular in films, its use here makes for an imaginatively coloured, whimsical story that even manages to pack a startling ending."
