An extraordinarily assured debut feature, 13 Tzameti won the top prize at Sundance. Owed money, and lacking any direction in life, Sébastien decides to take the place of a dead man on a mysterious mission. Sébastien doesn’t know what the man did, but he does know that it was awfully lucrative. Thus begins his journey toward a contemporary vision of hell, a world in which anything, even one’s life, is a commodity to be bought, sold, or wagered on. With several extraordinary scenes, not for the faint-hearted, 13 Tzameti is less shocking for what it shows than for its portrait of the amoral world it so convincingly captures. Son of a major Georgian director, Gela Babluani is a talent to watch. In French with English subtitles. Description adapted from the Film Society at Lincoln Center.
