Tzameti / 13 / France / 2005

Universally lauded on it’s release two years ago, Gela Babluani’s no budget debut is already in production on it’s Hollywood remake. I’m not entirely sure what all the fuss was about- it felt like a Guy Ritchie movie with pretensions, and a better premise. The acting is adequate but the characters are uniformly thin, and often dropped just as they’re about to get interesting. It all looks very nice, but there’s precious little tension after the initial shock wears off.

    I saw this film at Cucalorus here in Wilmington, NC, and I think the film works best in its current, low-budget format. If they want to Hollywoodize it, they’re gonna have to add some serious subplots and more character development.
