Review
A clean-faced 20-year-old, Sebastien leads an impoverished life with his immigrant family, constantly struggling to find the money for their next meal. When hired to repair the roof of the morphine-addicted Godon, Sebastien eavesdrops in on a conversation which appears to offer a quick and easy solution to his money troubles. When Godon suddenly drops dead, Sebastien decides to follow the instructions, meant for the recently deceased addict, in a desperate bid to secure some income for himself and his family. He then becomes embroiled in what appears to be a wild goose chase, taking on the identity of Godon and following a series of clues which lead him ever closer to his impending fate. The trail eventually leads Sebastien into the heart of the French countryside and face to face with a ring of clandestine gamblers. From this point on there is no turning back. "Tzameti" is a mesmerisingly dark thriller, intelligent, original and uncompromising.
