Product Description

Product Description

An award-winning account of one crucial day in the life of three ethnically diverse teenagers on a housing estate in Paris. It documents the fierce loathing that exists between the estate's residents and the police, that explodes when the police beat a youngster into a coma. The three young men vent their grief, frustration and anger in different ways with deadly consequences. The film won the 1995 Best Director at Cannes and the 1996 Best Film at the Cesar Awards.

From Amazon.co.uk

La Haine is an angry, anti-authoritarian French film that concerns three young guys (a Jew, an Arab, a black) who decide to take on the police after a friend is brutally beaten. There isn't much going on in this black and white drama beyond its violence (which can be pretty hard to watch, such as an interrogation scene that incorporates torture) and gritty observations of wayward youths hanging out on the fringes of Paris. Certainly, there isn't much in the way of insight, and director Mathieu Kassovitz seems to have absorbed more of the excesses of America's independent film scene, especially Spike Lee at his most indulgent, than its blessings. But if it's edge and rawness you want, this has it--with subtitles. --Tom Keogh --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 starsImproved translation to DVD
By omnigadrum on 14 Jun. 2005
Format: DVD
Released in 1995, 'La Haine' (hate) was an immediate box-office success in France, and achieved critical acclaim winning the Best Director Award at Cannes for Mathieu Kassovitz, then in his late twenties. Kassovitz comes from a family of film makers, and had already established himself as both a promising actor and director.
The film captures the rigid emptiness of life in a sprawling concrete banlieu (housing scheme) on the outskirts of Paris, an environment peopled by those who lack the financial or social clout to live somewhere better. These are Eastern Bloc tenements, characterless boxes in which society's detritus can be stacked, abandoned, and - hopefully - forgotten about.
The film focuses on three lads - somewhat stereotypically a Jew, a North African, and a black African. Life in the banlieu is supposed to be a tale of sanitised boredom - surely the immigrant population should be grateful for admission to the cultural greatness of France and its capital? Only the black youth attempts to make something of it - he has struggled to build a gym and to literally fight his way out of poverty by boxing. The North African youth is an incorrigible thief and poseur. The Jewish lad, meanwhile, poses in front of the mirror, aping De Niro's taxi-driver and playing the hard man.
But the world of the banlieu has imploded in urban riot - a participant sport in which local youths can engage and enrage the CRS, the French riot police, in a game of street chess, complete with petrol bombs and baton rounds. It is, of course, an entertaining spectator sport for the film crews and media. For the rioters, their fifteen minutes of fame come courtesy of news broadcasts.
The Jewish boy finds a handgun, dropped by one of the riot police. Now he can finally imitate De Niro.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThis station is bombed
By Dr. Delvis Memphistopheles TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on 28 Sept. 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
A grit grey concrete stark cinematic punch into the steel ribs of the French cultured and refined habitus, as we see beyond the social facade in the centre of the cultured chamber pot; the ghettoisation and marginalisation of la problem - the disenfranchised. Herded from view they live unattached to the Parisian womb except by journeying into the metropolis by the umbilical train track.

In response they have "created" a culture of their own, or rather purloined one from the same marginalised populations in America. So in come beat boxes, djing, graffiti art, cannabis, hip hop, break dancing and guns. Except with a french twist - the riot.

The gun seemingly defines the man, Glock, Walther, Smith and Wesson or Desert Eagle and in the embryonic world of the Cannnabis dispenser, it is a functional requirement. During the period this was set, mid 90's guns, like BMW's were totems of status and respect - they still are.

Out of sight has gone the land of mundane work and all the trappings that exist with it, aspiration. In its stead has come the life of the gangsta, dreams of violent revenge as all self made visions fall of buildings or go up in clouds of smoke.

Ranged against these anti social enterprises are the militarised police, acting to contain and maintain "docile bodies" within its social sphere; a mixture of arabs, blacks, jews and poor indigenous. Parisian poor, now locked away from the centre can be contained within these peripheral housing estates so when they riot, they only smash up their own facilities. The state wins by pointing out their innate animality and who would want them living within any social spitting distance?Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsthe view from a French person
By A Customer on 15 Jan. 2003
Format: DVD
Hi, Yes, i'm French and saw La haine when it was out at the cinema. I loved it but everybody didn't thought the same (kind of the same feeling as for marmite for UK people). It's not easy to watch, there is a lot of French-city-talking that can't be properly translated and yes, as you've understood from other reviews, it's in B&W. If you feel responsible enough to buy it thengood for you. if, you manage to watch it until the end I'm sure you will not say the usual "well, it was OK but stalone would have been good in the middle"... No, it's really a very very good film. It will explain you exactly what's going on in french suburbs of Paris. Don't be afraid to go to France though as you will luckily not see that. it's iden from tourists.
On the film direction : nothing to say about the actors. they are just fantastic and no-one would have been better than them. M kassovitz is so good as a film director (as well as actor, see Amelie). He's got a real knowledge of the photography as well. The end is completely unexpected but better than what you saw in the sixth sense.... have a good film.
Oh! I forgot, o buy it, it's certainly worth having it in your collection of DVDs.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe World Is Yours
By Keith M TOP 500 REVIEWER on 18 May 2015
Format: DVD
The irony of the billboard ad that Hubert Koundé's Afro-French frustrated (but aspiring) inner-city 'ne-er do well', Hubert, is confronted with through the train window is not lost on him (nor us) and the visceral power, realism and innovation of actor-writer-director Mathieu Kassovitz's 1995 film remains evident and undiminished 20 years on. Indeed, it's a subject matter (disillusioned youth on run-down urban estates and all that goes with it - poverty, crime, family breakdown, social alienation, hatred of, and brutality dealt out by, the police, etc) that has perhaps been done to death in recent years, but Kassovitz's film (which takes place over a single day) remains one of its outstanding examples, not least as a result of its intoxicating style (Pierre Aim's stunning black-and-white cinematography combining fast-moving, dynamic sequences and brilliant framing), riveting mix of brutal action and street-wise comedy, plus the superb acting performances from its central (largely novice) cast.

Kassovitz's use of music is also nicely judged as we're confronted with real-life Parisian riots (and their aftermath) to the tune of Bob Marley's Burnin' And Lootin', whilst elsewhere we have the likes of Isaac Hayes, The Beastie Boys, Cameo and The Gap Band, reflecting a multi-ethnic mix. Racial diversity and tensions are to the fore as we're introduced to the extended, dysfunctional families of central trio Hubert, Vincent Cassel's synagogue-skipping, violently loose cannon, Vinz, and Said Taghmaoui's more comedic 'Arab', Said (The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Kassovitz's film, if you like) - the acting trio delivering admirably, individually and as a group.Read more ›
