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 will represent France as the official submission for a Foreign Language nomination at the Oscars this year. 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.
