Description

Mathieu Kassovitz took the film world by storm with La haine, a gritty, unsettling, and visually explosive look at the racial and cultural volatility in modern-day France, specifically the low-income banlieue districts on Paris’s outskirts. Aimlessly passing their days in the concrete environs of their dead-end suburbia, Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Hubert (Hubert Koundé), and Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui)—a Jew, an African, and an Arab—give human faces to France’s immigrant populations, their bristling resentment at their marginalization slowly simmering until it reaches a climactic boiling point. A work of tough beauty, La haine is a landmark of contemporary French cinema and a gripping reflection of its country’s ongoing identity crisis.

    Quick to the point. La Haine is a excellent look at relationships in general and social fears, concerns and stereotypes. In my top ten favorites and a must watch every year...

    Incredibly powerful movie from one of most talented french movie makers, Mathieu Kassovitz. Through the story of these 3 friends and their daily life in this difficult environment, the movie paints a very realistic picture of the french suburbs surrounding Paris. Still very much applicable to current days, this movie never gets old, the black & white picture amplifies the strength of the story. Well written, the movie was also the revelation for Vincent Cassel. A must see, a classic of the modern french cinema.
