La Haine
Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz
1995
★ 7.0 editorial score
France spent a year arguing over it and the government screened it for ministers: twenty-four hours with three young men in a Paris suburb after a riot.
“In France, Mathieu Kassovitz's "La Haine" is the best-known and most successful of a new genre known as "banlieue" films, a reference to their settings in the suburbs of Paris, in the volatile, interracial housing projects there...for American viewers, the eeriest part of Mr. Kassovitz's precise and troubling film is how easily it reflects our own social problems.”
