Review of La Haine (1995) by Laetitia K — 25 Feb 2009
Hate is, I suppose, a Generation X film, whatever that means, but more mature and insightful than the American Gen X movies. Writer-director Mathieu Kassovitz mines so much tension and pointed dialogue from a low budget and deceptively simple premise that you wonder why so much of current Hollywood's own social realism ends up shooting $50 million blanks.
One of the most blisteringly effective pieces of urban cinema ever made.
