#66 La Haine

Mathieu Kassovitz's 1995 film La Haine deconstructs race, class and gender in a neighbourhood on the outskirts of Paris. In the aftermath of a riot against police violence in the banlieue, Vinz, Saïd and Hubert navigate their way through their neighbourhoods gripped by poverty and anger - this film blends comedy with pathos, complicates preconceptions of Paris, and contextualises constructs of race and class in the face of state power.
