A Prophet
A French film听with subtitles听set in a prison. I have to say my heart felt as听grey and heavy as the leaden Belfast sky above me as I went to a press screening earlier today of "A听Prophet". Walking past posters of "It's Complicated" (which yes I really do want to see) I wasn't sure how the next 2 and 1/2 hours (yes 2 & 1/2 hours) were going to pass.听 How I would rather be watching Meryl Streep and Alex Baldwin kid about in a rom com for听an hour or two.听Well more fool me. "A Prophet" is stunning.听And everything I would normally not warm to. It's violent, bloody, shocking. And beautiful. Move over Michael Corleone. There's a new godfather in town. We're reviewing it on ArtsExtra tonight.
It opens at the Queens Film Theatre on the 22nd January and is there until听the 4th February.
