Directed by Jacques Audiard (Read My Lips, The Beat That My Heart Skipped) A Prophet (Un Prophète) tells the story of Malik El Djebena (Tahar Rahim) who is condemned to 6 yrs in jail. He is young, illiterate and vulnerable. Part Arab, part Corsican, Malik is taken under the wing of the leader of the Corsican gang, César Luciani (Niels Arestrup). Following Malik’s transformation as he learns the criminal ropes, the film explores themes of power and morality, looking at the lengths to which people will go to survive.
