Twenty-four hours in the lives of three young men in the aftermath of violent riots on the outskirts of Paris. Vinz, a Jew, Hubert, of African descent, and Saïd, an Arab, drift aimlessly through the concrete maze of the banlieue, where frustration, anger, and hopelessness are passed down from one generation to the next. Mathieu Kassovitz’s iconic black-and-white drama has become one of the defining films of the 1990s and remains as urgent and powerful today as it was upon its release. La Haine is a gripping portrait of young people searching for their place in a society that refuses to listen to them, and a chilling reminder of how social inequality, prejudice, and violence are inherited across generations. The film won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival and three César Awards, including Best Film.
