- La haine. by Kassovitz, Mathieu,1967-film director.; Kanopy (Firm);
Originally produced by Criterion Collection/Janus Films in 1995.Mathieu Kassovitz took the film world by storm with 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. Aimlessly passing their days in the concrete environs of their dead-end suburbia, Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Hubert (Hubert Kounde), and Said (Said 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. A work of tough beauty, La haine is a landmark of contemporary French cinema and a gripping reflection of its country's ongoing identity crisis.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Suburbs; Inner cities; Riots; Marginality, Social; Police brutality; Race; Motion pictures, French.; Foreign films; Inner cities.; Marginality, Social.; Police brutality.; Race.; Riots.; Social conditions.; Suburbs.;
