Dheepan was the winner of the 2015 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival and now there're only a couple of weeks to go until the film hits the big screen.

Dheepan

Dheepan

Dheepan marks the return of Jacques Audiard to the director's chair for his first feature film since the critically acclaimed Rust and Bone back in 2012... it looks like the filmmaker has another hit on his hands.

As well as being in the director's chair, Audiard has also penned the film's screenplay, along with Thomas Bidegain and Noe Debre - it really is promising to be another character driven story.

The movie will be released at the beginning of April and we have two terrific new clips for you to take a look at:

Jesuthasan Antonythasan takes on the title role of Dheepan and is joined on the cast list by Kalieaswari Srinivasan, Claudine Vinasithamby, Vincent Rottiers, Faouzi Bensaïdi, and Marc Zinga.

Dheepan is a Sri Lankan Tamil warrior who is forced to flee to France to escape the civil war, posing as a family with a woman and young girl he has never previously met.

Finding work as a caretaker of a housing block in the suburbs of Paris, Dheepan works to build a new life and home for his 'wife' and 'daughter', but the daily violence he confronts quickly reopens the violence from his past, and he is left fighting for their livelihood, and eventually their lives.

Dheepan is released 8th April.
