Review of A Prophet (2009) by Bubbahotep — 29 Jun 2011
This film is excellent and possibly one of the most powerful crime dramas i've ever seen. Without giving away details of the plot, I will say that the acting goes a long way in lending the movie its impact, especially from Niels Arestrup as the aging corsican mob boss who evokes pathos and hostility in equal measure.
The direction by Jacques Audiard is sure-handed, and the film works both as a thriller and an intimate human drama.
