Review of A Prophet (2009) by Cyclecrit — 06 Sep 2010
Fantastic gritty, realistic depiction of life inside a French prison from start to finish.
I could really only identify a couple of small aspects were improvement was possible. The first of these was in the english subtitles (not really even a part of the film itself)- they are not always a great translation of the actual dialogue. The second is in the development of the central protagonists relationship and involvement with the Muslim within and outside the jail walls, this could have been given additional clarity.
However, as a cinema this film works all almost every level, effectively dragging us into Malik's world grim and realistic world.
Don't miss it.
