Went into his latest, the Cannes winner Un Prophète, without much in the way of expectations, and I was very impressed - it's basically a straight up traditional gangster flick, some little artsy touches to be fair but I think genre movies fans will leave more than satisfied.

No masterpiece, but a throughouly engaging movie, and I love the poster as well:
