A Prophet (2009) – J. Audiard
Not your average prison flick, but something more gritty and visceral,
with a hero/anti-hero who listens and learns but is opaque to the viewer (think
Le Samourai). On the surface, the story is straightforward (and occasionally
brutal) but simmering under are racial identity issues, father-son dynamics, a
moral code of sorts, and possibly second sight. Never less than enthralling.
