A Prophet is one of the best prison movies of all time. Malik has recently been sentenced to 6 years and is quickly thrust into the harsh realities of prison life when he is forced to kill a fellow inmate that is going to testify. This gets him under the protection of the Corsicans even though he is Arab. He straddles the line between both worlds and is always planning ahead for his future even though everyone in prison looks at him like an errand boy. Amazing film.
5/5
Maybe it will win Academy Award for best foreign language film on Sunday, March 7!
