London Film Critics’ Circle Awards: A PROPHET Beats AVATAR, THE HURT LOCKER

Avatar may be the king of the box office, but it surely wasn’t king of anything at the London Film Critics’ Circle Awards held last night in, where else, London.

The London Critics’ best film of 2009? Jacques Audiard’s prison drama A Prophet, the first French-made production to win the Circle’s top award in its 30-year history. Starring European Film Award winner Tahar Rahim (above), A Prophet is set in a tough French prison where a newcomer must fend off the advances of the local Corsican mafia. A Prophet has received 13 nominations for the French Academy’s Césars and is expected to win the Best Film award.
