Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz, La Haine ( Hate ) is a raw, black-and-white masterpiece about police brutality, social inequality, and urban rage in the French banlieues (suburbs). Shot in gritty documentary style, the film follows 24 hours in the lives of three young friends—Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui), and Hubert (Hubert Koundé)—after a riot sparked by the police beating of a local boy, Abdel.
The disorienting camera movements used to show the trio’s isolation in the city of Paris are much more impactful when the image doesn't lose detail during the motion. Where to Experience La Haine Today la haine hd
