La Haine15

Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz | France | 1995 | 1h 38m | French w/ English subtitles | Starring Vincent Cassel, Hubert Koundé, Saïd Taghmaoui, Abdel Ahmed Ghili

After a chaotic night of riots and police brutality in the Parisian suburbs, three young men wander the abandoned streets and plot revenge on those responsible for hospitalising a friend. With its energetic performances and stylish cinematography, Mathieu Kassovitz’s explosive look at racial and cultural volatility in Paris became an instant classic of contemporary French cinema.
