Zulu may refer to:
Zulu is a 2013 English-language French produced crime film directed by Jérôme Salle. It was selected as the closing film at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
The film is partly based on Project Coast, the program for biological and chemical weapons of the South African apartheid regime, and the book Zulu by author Caryl Férey, winner of the French Grand Prix for Best Crime Novel of 2008.
Police detectives Ali Sokhela (Forest Whitaker) and Brian Epkeen (Orlando Bloom) investigate a murder which apparently took place because the killer took a dangerous new drug.
The film starts when we see a young boy peeking through the windows of a house. The boy's father is outside being tortured by a group of people who set him on fire by 'necklacing' (a tire is wrapped around him and set alight). One of the men torturing his father sees him and the boy runs away.
Flash forward to 2013 in Cape Town, South Africa. The boy, Ali Sokhela, has now grown up and is the chief of the police homicide branch. He still has various psychological problems, including memories from his childhood, such as the one that was mentioned in the beginning of the film, which was triggered when he was using his treadmill.
Never thought the long beach hilton
Would ever be a landmark in my life
That's the place that I first kissed you
And where I first saw you undress
So I bought myself a keyboard
Thought I'd be the tom waits of my time
But everytime I wrote a song it sounded wrong
And the words would never rhyme
One year later I moved to new york
Another year I was back in the very same place
I moved to new york again and back again
The only thing that stayed the same was your face
Things looked great in 98
I got a band and the songs started sounding right
But things weren't fine in 99
That's when I broke your heart
I still remember the day
Well my mom likes to be called moe
Wonder what it would taste like if she cooked a meal with my friend snow
There are lots of things that I don't know
So all I can think of to say
Is say hello to joe
Well my mom likes to be called moe
Wonder what it would taste like if she cooked a meal with my friend snow
Well there are lots of things I don't know
All I can think of to say
