13 Tzameti

Yesterday night, after watching the ICL clash, i tuned to UTV world movies. It's an excellent channel which gives a wide variety of foreign language movies. The movie @ 11:00 pm for yesterday is 13 Tzameti.

This is a Spanish thriller directed by Gela Babluani and protagonist role performed by George Babluani(brothers !!!!)I have never seen such a mind-blowing film in recent times. It's literally mind-blowing. I lost sleep for 2 hours and it gave me immense fear. The movie is based on a group of rich perverts who put other people life's in stake for their own eternal pleasure. The performance of all the characters is simply outstanding. The fear they exhibit through their eyes is just more than brilliance.

Well, a little into the story, a young carpenter, sebastian, unable to control his urge about a secret job which can fetch him a fortune of money sets his journey to the house of death. The rich perverts of French community gambles during the weekend. The gamble is based on Russian roulette game. In simple terms, 13 people will stand in circle with their guns facing the opponents and have to fire when the lights turn on. They will be given 1 bullet in round one and the bullets count keeps on increasing till the last round. Well, our sebastian, unknowingly gets into this trap and now there's no going back and he has to play it out. The mental chaos he undergoes in this events form the rest of the story. I was not very sure about the story and nearly my heart pounded out when i came to know abt the game-plot, from there on it's a roller coaster ride. The fear completely surmounted me and it started sweating @ 12:00 am in bangalore cold !!!!

One disturbing thing about this movie is that, this can't be a complete fictional, it can happen somewhere in the world. The success of this picture is the narration style of this movie from the point of view of the persons who are playing this game. Even though the protagonist took the mainstream of performance, all the other 12 characters depicts their emotions via their eyes.....and it's terrifying !!!!

For a change, if you guys want to know how death will be or the moments before death..watch this movie. If not you'll get fear of death atleast you'll get respect for all lives around !!!!

The whole movie is made in Black&White and in broad daylight. The music is just amazing, camera is simple and efficient in capturing emotions(no bizarre angles, almost still shots). The editing is slow but the screenplay is too gripping that you'll feel the cold nerves !!!!

PS: this is purely my personal opinion...
PPS: watch it once and if it doesn't gives u fear, be happy that you are very much gifted in life !!!!
PPPS: yaaruppa anga, thathuvam solran seeni, notes edunga !!!!
