Editorial Reviews

While to most outsiders Paris seems the very picture of beauty and civility, France has had a long and unfortunate history of intolerance toward outsiders, and this powerful drama from filmmaker Mathieu Kassovitz takes an unblinking look at a racially diverse group of young people trapped in the Parisian economic and social underclass. Vinz (Vincent Cassel), who is Jewish, Hubert (Hubert Kounde), who is Black, and Said (Said Taghmaoui), who is Arabic, are young men from the lower rungs of the French economic ladder; they have no jobs, few prospects, and no productive way to spend their time. They hang out and wander the streets as a way of filling their days and are sometimes caught up in frequent skirmishes between the police and other disaffected youth. One day, a street riot breaks out after police seriously injure an Arab student; the three friends are arrested and questioned, and it is learned that a policeman lost a gun in the chaos. However, what they don't know is that Vinz picked it up and has it in his possession, and when Vinz, Hubert, and Said get into a scuffle with a group of racist skinheads, the circumstances seem poised for tragedy. Actress Jodie Foster was so impressed with La Haine when she saw it at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival that she helped to arrange American distribution for the film through her production company, Egg Pictures.

February 01, 2007: This film is as gritty as "pi" and as dramatic as "run lola run" - I would recommend this to anyone who loves film and the film-making process. Although it is now 12 years since I have seen it, I can remember each scene and exchange vividly. This film is perfect for the avid movie-buff, as well as for a group of twenty-somethings to thirty-somethings, sitting around a screen, sharing beers/wines/whatever. Check this film out and open up your mind a bit.

September 14, 2001: This is the best movie i've seen so far that makes u laugh and cry. I guess that's what happens when u have a jew, arab, and a black guy as best friends living in the ghetto of france. So if your down with ''OCB'' you'll be down with them too.
