(18) | Jacques Audiard | 2009 | 155’ | Cast | Awards
French filmmaker Jacques Audiard has followed 2005’s hitThe Beat that My Heart Skipped with this movie which won Best Film in November’s London Film Festival. A Prophet is an engrossing, terrifying prison drama about Malik, a young French-Arab convict who enters a tough French jail and finds himself with even less freedom than he bargained for. Successfully balancing art-film portraiture with a gangster picture’s plot, this is a tough, absorbingly intricate account of the young French-Arab thug’s improbable education behind bars.
Drama frawychus a gafaelgar wedi ei gosod mewn carchar yn Ffrainc. Mae’n dilyn Malik, carcharwr Ffrengig-Arabaidd sy’n sylweddoli fod ganddo hyd yn oed llai o ryddid na’r disgwyl.
“When it comes to hard-bitten crime cinema, Jacques Audiard has few equals in Europe” Screen
