Movie Reviews of 13 Tzameti
Movie Review: Underrated Gem
Summary: 4 Stars
I didn't know anything about this movie other than what was written on the DVD case (and I wasn't sure about calling it an "existential thriller"), but was pleasantly surprised. It was filmed in black and white and is subtitled, if that matters to you (it didn't to me).
The trailers give you an idea of what the movie is about, but I think it's better if you watch the movie unfold without knowing anything about it.
The first half hour did drag a bit, but after that, it was great. After watching it, I can now see why it was called an existential thriller. Very well done for the director's first film and worthy of the many awards it received.
Summary of 13 Tzameti
22 year-old S bastien (Georges Babluani) leads an impoverished life constantly struggling to support his immigrant family. While repairing the roof of a neighbor s house he overhears a conversation about a forthcoming package which promised to make the household rich. Sensing the opportunity of a lifetime S bastien intercepts the package which contains a series of veiled instructions. Following the cryptic clues he assumes a false identity and manages to slip through the grasp of the encroaching police as he ventures deeper towards the unknown. The closer he gets to his destination the less he understands. Ultimately he comes face to face with a disreputable ring of clandestine gamblers placing bets on a depraved game of chance where the spoils are unimaginable millions and the losses are counted in lives.
