A Prophet (film)

I've never been incarcerated before (excluding that one time in the drunk tank), but this movie literally made me feel like I was living a real-life nightmare in a filthy, corrupt French penitentiary. The movie begins with the Arab protagonist being forced to murder a fellow Arab by some Corsican mobster inmates, or face of the consequences of being murdered himself. The plot takes off from there, and I'm not surprised the critic in the poster above says that it "takes its place among the greatest crime films ever made."

I'm not sure when this movie comes out on DVD, though if you're the crafty type, you could probably find another way to track it down : )
