Product Information
Shot in black and white cinema verite style, this film follows a day in the life of three aimless, violence-prone, ethnically-diverse young men who hail from the same decaying housing project in Paris. Vinz, who is Jewish, is the angriest and the least intelligent of the three. North African Said is calmer, but is the most despairing about his future. Hubert is Black, and the most mature, channeling his rage through boxing. Although the trio seethes with fury over the arrest and senseless beating of an Arab friend, each manages to keep the other in check. But that changes after Vinz finds a loaded gun--and the trio becomes entangled with the police, and later a group of skinheads. Mathieu Kassovitz won the Best Director prize for LA HAINE at the Cannes Film Festival.Product Identifiers

ReviewsNew York Times - ...[A] precise and troubling film....Smartly aware that many urban problems are also global..., USA Today - "...Writer-director Mathieu Kassovitz (Cafe au Lait) mines so much tension and pointed dialogue from a low budget and deceptively simple premise..." -- 3 1/2 out of 4 stars, Los Angeles Times - ...Raw, vital and captivating....HATE is a visceral fable of a divided society heading blindly for a crash-landing..., Variety - ...Extremely intelligent....The in-your-face lensing and more formal compositions are used to maximum effect..., Rolling Stone - ...Prepare to be jolted by the intensity....The performances are as white hot as the subject matter...
