Hass

24 hours from the everyday lives of young people from so-called marginalized groups, of Arab, African and French origin in the concrete jungles of the periphery.

It's any given morning in some social housing ghetto in a banlieue, a suburb of Paris. There is a state of emergency! After a night of violence between the police and a group of youths, there is open warfare between the two parties. A 16-year-old struggles with death after being brutally beaten up during an interrogation. The boys Hubert, Said and Vinz are on the front line in the fight against the police, driven by their hatred of the system. It is a day that will change their lives. 30 years after its premiere, LA HAINE is still frighteningly topical! Mathieu Kassovitz (THE PURPLE RIVERS) shows the lives of young outsiders in the Parisian suburbs in a relentlessly open and hopeless way. The enormous importance of the film was already apparent at the time. Kassovitz was awarded Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival. Vincent Cassel (BLACK SWAN) shines in the leading role.
