DVD Pick of the Week: A Prophet

Nominated for Best Foreign Film, Jacques Audiard's A Prophet is raw stuff, violent and unforgiving -- a film that will stick with you long after viewing.  Malik El Djebena is condemned to to six years in prison. Cornered by the leader of the Corsican gang, he is given a number of "missions" to carry out, toughening him up and gaining the gang leader's confidence in the process.

The Prophet arrives on DVD today (compare prices). Read Jürgen's review.
