Jacques Audiard's A Prophet

Malik El Djebena is a 19 year old petty criminal jailed for six years in France. In jail he is subjected to various brutalities & eventually rises to the top of the ranks. The Guardian states: "The plot is intricate and tightly wound, and Audiard exerts formidable control over every frame so that two and a half hours flash by in an instant." Yes. This film is brutal & moving, and will stick to you afterward; i highly recommend it.
