The naughts were good to us with Jacques Audiard - he handed us back to back to back cinematic gems in Sur mes lèvres (2001), The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2005) and Special Jury Prize winning A Prophet (2009). Audiard is arguably among the best French filmmakers in the biz, so how will he fare when he dabbles a bit more in CGI and with a spiked production budget north of 20 million? And will Oscar-winning lead actress in Cotillard knock it out of the park like Emmanuelle Devos did in Sur mes lèvres? We don't expect him to compromise on his trademark marriage of style and suspense.

If Tahar Rahim's star shined so bright, it may have been from him playing opposite of Niels Arestrup. Arestrup plays an aged, savant of the prison system - a seedy character not unlike the one he portrayed in Jacques Audiard's film De battre mon coeur s'est arrete. Love the menacing prowess, raw energy, the fluctuations in mood and the snap moment scary surges of aggression that fill the frame - something to look forward to early next year.
