LOVED. Its not to everyone's tastes, a couple of my friends who saw it weren't as impressed as I was. But if you were like Scarface then its my bet this will be your cup of tea. It ain't a Hollywood flick by any stretch of the imagination.
Its French, subtitled, and 2.5 hours long so watch it when you have plenty of time and concentration.
Here's the synopsis.
Synopsis: Condemned to six years in prison, Malik El Djebena, part Arab, part Corsican, cannot read or write. Arriving at the jail entirely alone, he appears younger and more fragile than the other convicts. He is 19 years old. Cornered by the leader of the Corsican gang currently ruling the prison, he is given a number of "missions" to carry out, toughening him up and gaining the gang leader's confidence in the process. Malik is a fast learner and rises up the prison ranks, all the while secretly devising his own plans.
