2010 ACADEMY AWARD® NOMINEE
2010 GOLDEN GLOBE® NOMINEE
Grand Jury Prize winner and Golden Palm nominee this year at Cannes, writer/director Jacques Audiard (READ MY LIPS, THE BEAT THAT MY HEART SKIPPED) continues his specialty in the underground crime genre with his fifth feature: A PROPHET. A huge success at the French box office, the film represents France as the official submission at the Oscars this year, for which it received a nomination. This internationally critically acclaimed prison drama stars newcomer Tahar Rahim as Malik, a part Arab, part Corsican teen condemned to six years in prison. Confronted by the leader of the Corsican gang (Niels Arestrup – THE BEAT THAT MY HEART SKIPPED) currently ruling the prison, Malik is forced to carry out a number of missions to prove himself and, as he rises through the prison ranks, secretly devises his own criminal network.
