Prophet + Sony Classics
Jacques Audiard's A Prophet, my most lamented miss of the Cannes Film Festival (due to oversleeping), has been acquired for U.S., Latin American and Australian distribution by Sony Pictures Classics. Variety's Sharon Swart reported early this morning that "multiple distribs had been interested in the film but several reported that sales company Celluloid Dreams had attached a steep price tag for the U.S. rights." Audiard made it in my book with The Beat That My Heart Skipped, an '05 remake of James Toback's Fingers.

Turan was raving about the movie on NPR this morning... for whatever that's worth.
