A PROPHET up for Globe
December 28th 2009 14:32
Having won four awards already, been compared to one of the greatest gangster films of all time, The Godfather, and as France's official entry for the foreign language film for the Oscars, Jacques Audiard's highly acclaimed film A PROPHET is set to start the 2010 film season off with a bang.
Synopsis:
Nineteen year-old Malik (Tahar Rahim) is condemned to six years in prison. Arriving in jail friendless and alone with no-one to protect him, he soon finds himself drawn into the brutal violence and gang warfare of daily prison life. Taken under the wing of a powerful boss, Malik is initiated into the criminal ranks. Once on the outside, he is entrusted with more and more important missions. But Malik is brave and a fast learner and secretly has his own plans that don't involve taking orders from anyone else.
Jacques Audiard, acclaimed director of The Beat That My Heart Skipped, brings us the winner of this year's Grand Prix at Cannes. Having recently won the Best Film award at the London Film Festival and being hailed by critics as a classic in the same vein as The Godfather, A Prophet instantly takes its place as a classic of the crime genre.
