La haine
Mathieu Kassovitz, France, 1995o
Trois copains d'une banlieue ordinaire traînent leur ennui et leur jeunesse qui se perd. Ils vont vivre la journée la plus importante de leur vie après une nuit d'émeutes provoquée par le passage à tabac d'Abdel Ichah par un inspecteur de police lors d'un interrogatoire.
Mathieu Kassovitz’s account of police brutality is as ferocious a punch in the stomach as it was twenty-five years ago, and retains every spark of an explosive deconstruction of France’s treatment of minorities and widening social inequality.
Matthew AndersonAs is so often the case with the greatest films, La Haine only seems to get even better with each passing year... The Molotov cocktail landing on planet Earth in La Haine still resonates as a symbolic provocation that the only way to create lasting positive change is to wipe out what has gone before and start again from scratch. And what can be more rebellious that that?
