Audiard's prison drama A Prophet has been very well received by the press at Cannes, even Alex over at Firstshowing stated that it was the first great film of Cannes after he saw it (damn I wish I was there).

A Prophet is the story of Malik, a young Arab imprisoned because he wouldn’t snitch. At age 18, he arrives in a French prison completely lost. At first, he maintains obedience to the prison’s reigning Corsican mafia, and slowly rises in the ranks, playing a dangerous game of double-crossing the Corsicans, and ultimately destroys his enemies. Following his release six years later, he successfully builds his own empire and is the leader of the Arab mafia and a hero to his community.
