<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n| 2016 – 114′ – Drama. Winner of the Palme d\u2019Or at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival, the new film from acclaimed director Jacques Audiard (A Prophet) is a gripping, human tale of survival. On the losing side of a civil war in Sri Lanka, a Tamil soldier (Antonythasan Jesuthasan) poses as the husband and father of two other refugees in order to escape their ravaged homeland. Arriving in France, the makeshift \u201cfamily\u201d sets about establishing a new life\u2014only to find themselves once again embroiled in violence on the mean streets of Paris. A heartrending saga of three strangers united by circumstance and struggle,\u00a0Dheepan\u00a0is both a tour-de-force thriller and a powerful depiction of the immigrant experience.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" DHEEPAN | 2016 – 114′ – Drama.
