13 Tzameti: Review

Writer-director Gela Babluani's debut is a spare, ice-cold thriller that combines the nastiest ideas from The Deer Hunter, Intacto and Hostel to produce an icy plunge into the dark depths of the human mind. Shot in neorealist black-and-white, it opens like a gritty slice of social drama, then takes a sharp turn into bleak, existential horror. Don't miss. Read the complete review for 13 Tzameti

DVD Tuesday: You Bet Your Life in 13 Tzameti | Movie News | 2/20/2007
Send your movie questions to FlickChickThe ice-cold thriller 13 Tzameti was one of my favorite films of last year and now that its on DVD I hope it will find an audience I put it on my five-best list compiled under pressure by the way because I hate the reductiveness of lists but thats another discussion and the overwhelming response from readers was Ive never heard of it That started some discussion about the difference between what critics like and what normal people like Feel free to weigh in But I think the real problem with 13 Tzameti is nothing more or less than that it got such a limited release that lots of moviegoers who would have loved it never got the chance to see it Its in black-and-white and a foreign language two foreign languages actually French and Georgian And thats a kiss-of-death double whammy in the current marketplace Why Beats me I really dont find reading subtitles so onerous and in my experience theyre far better done t read more be the first to leave a comment
