The acclaimed director of A Prophet and Rust and Bone delivers a riveting tale of three Sri Lankan refugees: ex-guerrilla Dheepan and two strangers, who jump at the chance to emigrate to Europe by pretending to be a family. But instead of the hoped-for peace, they’re dumped in a gang-infested housing project outside of Paris, hardly less violent than the world they fled. And as their situation grows ever more precarious, Dheepan must call upon the military past he renounced. D: Jacques Audiard, France, subtitled, 2015, 115m
