♥♥♥♥♥ |
Pretentious and ultimately Pointless
|
The rumour mill was on overtime in conjunction to this movie as to its supposed bleak expressionism, intensity and cold harshness. I trusted the critics for once and blindly bought the movie. I thought it was rather disappointing.
The story is simply about a young man getting mixed up as a contestant in a rather sick variety of russian roulette, held in some house in the French countryside, his only motives in doing so being curiosity and expecting a shortcut in scoring a lot of money. That's it, where is the deep meaning behind this that I keep hearing about? The lengths to which men are prepared to go? Hardly a revelation I'd think, comnsidering the world we're living in, where we see the day to day horrors on the news that make what the contestants in this movie go through look like a picknick.
What came to mind in my case was the famous Russian roulette scene in The Deer Hunter, but at least there it had a point: A man tortured by his memories of captivity during the Vietnam war loses himself and his best friend tries to save him and fulfill his promise to not leave him behind, in vain however. Now thA t had meaning and a dramatic context that personally moved me deeply, because of the way the humanity and at the same time the tragedy of its loss were depicted.
In 13 Tzameti, it's simply the urge for a quick buck that drives the main protagonist and so I hardly cared whatever happened to him.
The side story line of a police investigation into the clandestine gatherings went nowhere and didn't contribute anything.
The reason I still give the movie 2 stars is its beautiful black&white cinematography. |
