“LA HAINE is an unmissable response to an unending emergency.” ( Guardian) 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.Ī work of tough beauty, LA HAINE is a landmark of contemporary French cinema, and a gripping reflection of its country’s ongoing identity crisis.
Mathieu Kassovitz took the film world by storm with his 1996 feature 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.
