No hate

La Haine (1995)

Written and directed by Mathieu Kassovitz this film stars Vincent Cassel, Hubert Kounde and Said Taghmaoui. Three friends living in a poor area of Paris spend the day after a riot together.

This film does a really good job of looking at the clash between poor immigrants and French authority. While there might not be a lot that is revolutionary about this story it frames the social problem well and takes a balanced view. Some of the direction is slick and there is a decent sound track as well.


4/5
