Tahar Rahim on Un Prophet during the Cannes Film Festival

Tahar Rahim talks to Cinemoi about the his role as a prison inmate in Jacques Audiard’s critically acclaimed new release ‘Un Prophete’

Missing ‘A Prophet’ would be a loss for movie fans

Missing ‘A Prophet’ would be a loss for movie fans
The hierarchy among prisoners is as strictly enforced as in any community outside the prison walls. This point comes across with grim effectiveness in the French drama “A Prophet.” Although its 149-minute running time initially makes you feel incarcerated in the cinema, it becomes a thematically liberating film by the end….

Plot

Sentenced to six years in prison, young man Malik El Djebena (Tahar Rahim) is alone in the world and can neither read nor write. On his arrival at the prison he falls under the sway of a Corsican Mafia group, led by Luciani, who enforce their rule in the prison. Malik toughens himself and wins the confidence of the Corsican group. He follows Luciani’s orders to kill prisoner Reyeb. Luciani arranges 12-hour leaves for Malik, in which Luciani sends him on missions, including murder. Malik learns how to read and write, and uses all his intelligence to discreetly develop his own network. His power grows and finally he is no longer on Luciani’s side.

[edit] Production

The film’s screenplay, re-worked by Jacques Audiard and Thomas Bidegain, was submitted to them by a producer, though the idea of making a film set in prison first came to Audiard after he had a film screened in a prison and was shocked by the conditions there.[1][2]

Audiard cast Niels Arestrup, who was in Audiard’s previous film, as the Corsican crime boss César Luciani, and met Tahar Rahim, who plays Malik, when they shared an automobile ride from another film set. To ensure the authenticity of the prison experience, Audiard hired former convicts as advisors and extras.[2]
[edit] Reception

The film has received overwhelmingly positive reviews and currently holds a 98% ‘Fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 44 reviews.[3]

Reception of the film after its debut screening at 2009 Cannes Film Festival at the competition was good. A Prophet was picked as the best film of the festival by a group of sixteen English language critics and bloggers polled by the daily independent film news site indieWIRE.[4]

Karin Badt at The Huffington Post called it “refreshingly free”.[1] Jonathan Romney of Screen International said that the film “works both as hard-edged, painstaking detailed social realism and as a compelling genre entertainment.”[5]
[edit] Awards

The film was the submission of France for the 82nd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Film.[6] On February 2nd 2010, when Academy Award nominations were announced, A Prophet received a nomination for Best foreign-language film. Other four films in the category were Ajami, El secreto de sus ojos, The Milk of Sorrow and The White Ribbon.[7]

A Prophet won the Grand Prix at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.[8] At the 53rd London Film Festival, it won the Best Film Award.[9][10] It won the Prix Louis Delluc 2009.[11] At the 63rd British Academy Film Awards, it won a BAFTA for Best Film Not in the English Language.
