Directed by Mathieu Kassovitz (1995).

Mathieu Kassovitz took the film world by storm with La Haine, a gritty, unsettling, and visually explosive look at the racial and cultural volatility in modern-day France. The film give human faces to France’s immigrant populations, their bristling resentment at their marginalization, slowly simmering until it reaches a climactic boiling point. A work of tough beauty, La Haine is a landmark of 1990s French cinema and a gripping reflection of its country’s ongoing identity crisis.
