It is about the journey of a young North African prisoner in France. He is sentenced to six years in jail. I was expecting stereotypes and a lot of clichés. I was agreeably surprised. It is a fiction about our fantasy “hero”, a Tony Montana like personage that makes it out alive.
In this pure fiction, I like how the racial tensions are portrayed. The main character managed to stay alive. He went from the invisible “slave-maid” to the “ultimate gangster”. It is perfectly done because it already takes place in prison. It does take away the glamour of “wannabe Mafioso”.
Seriously, it is a must watch. The movie is in French, Arabic, and Corsica with subtitles. It is nice to have movies about Arabs in France. It is sadly so familiar but the message coming out from some of silent scenes is outstanding. One of the best films I have seen!!!
Verdict: Excellent !!
Enjoy!
