Un zoo la nuit est un film canadien réalisé par Jean-Claude Lauzon, sorti en 1987. Un ancien taulard violé dans sa cellule retrouve son père avec lequel il parviendra enfin à éprouver de l'affection et à communiquer. Il doit échapper à des policiers corrompus qui savent qu'il avait caché quelque part une importante somme d’argent et de la cocaïne pour la durée de son incarcération. Alors que le père est mourant, son fils lui organise une dernière partie de chasse à l'orignal. Il l'apporte au zoo, où il pense être certain d’en trouver un. Lorsqu'il constate son erreur, il suggère à son père de tuer l'éléphant. La scène est envoûtante, mêlée à la voix de Jacques Brel qui chante Voir un ami pleurer. Un zoo la nuit montre l'humanité et l'amour, à travers la nuit et le désespoir.
