Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
An Arabic man gets thrust into a hellish prison, and ironically discovers greater opportunities for success than he ever possessed outside of the bars, in this violent melodrama.
"Winner of the 2009 Cannes Film Festival Jury Grand Prix, 'The Prophet' mixes the French ethnic cauldron, including criticism of how immigrants are treated by government and politics, with a more action and violence-driven approach. A realistic and true view of what happens in Europe, leaving us claustrophobic within the prison where much of the story takes place."
