13 Tzameti

Directed by Gela Babluani1h 33m2006

Sebastian, a young man, has decided to follow instructions intended for someone else, without knowing where they will take him. Something else he does not know is that Gerard Dorez, a cop on a knife-edge, is tailing him. When he reaches his destination, Sebastian falls into a degenerate, clandestine world of mental chaos behind closed doors in which men gamble on the lives of others men.

Our read: 13 Tzameti (2006) reads as a heavy, steady, inventive action · thriller entry — extreme in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
