La Haine

Starring: Vincent Cassel , Hubert Koundé , Saïd Taghmaoui , et al. Directed by: Mathieu Kassovitz

When a young Arab is arrested and beaten unconscious by police, a riot erupts in the notoriously violent suburbs outside of Paris. Three of the victim’s peers, Vinz (Vincent Cassel),
Said (Said Taghmaoui) and Hubert (Hubert Koundé), wander aimlessly about their home turf in the aftermath of the violence as they try to come to grips with their outrage over the brutal
incident. After one of the men finds a police officer’s discarded weapon, their night seems poised to take a bleak turn. (Rotten Tomatoes)

Mathieu Kassovitz’s landmark mid-90s drama throws a cinematic Molotov cocktail at structural racism, police brutality and media manipulation. Hard-hitting and breathtakingly effective, La Haine takes an uncompromising look at long-festering social and economic divisions affecting 1990s Paris.
