![]() It's rare that a film like this is considered both genuine and a good example of it's art but La Haine is both. The first thing that stands out about the film is the cinematography. ![]() I have seen La Haine a handful of times now and with each viewing it just gets better. My vote: 10 out of 10 Favorite films: Lesser-known Masterpieces: Favorite Low-Budget and B-movies: Favorite TV-Shows reviewed: As much a realistic portrayal of a torn society as it is an artistic achievement, 'La Haine' is essential viewing. ![]() And, perhaps most of all, THE perfect script. Everything fits: the musical choices, the outstanding performances by the 3 main characters, the beautiful cinematography and flawless direction. But it's also a cinematic masterpiece and great, often hilarious entertainment. ![]() While there are so many references to Scorsese that you could almost call it an homage, this French milestone deals with the disillusioned youth who live in the outskirts of Paris in such an elegant - and honest - way, that I would go so far as to call it the most relevant French film of the last 20 years. 'Mean Streets' in french - and so much more. The most relevant French film of the last 20 years
