La Haine, the 1995 classic from director Mathieu Kassovitz, has been remastered and released by the BFI and the film starring Vincent Cassel is more relevant than ever
La Haine review: Classic French drama on police violence is 'more relevant than ever'
Despite its initial release being a quarter of a century ago, La Haine remains an incendiary and vital piece of cinema.
Set on the divided and violent suburbs of Paris, La Haine (or 'Hate' in English) follows three close friends from immigrant families amidst a period of turmoil in the French capital, which has evolved out of the recent hospitalisation of the young Abdel Ichach.
The trio are made up of the fiery young Jewish man Vinz, his outspoken North-African Muslim friend Saïd, and African-French boxer Hubert who is longing to escape his situation and is more aware than most that “hate breeds hate”.
The film charts 12 hours in the lives of the group of friends in the aftermath of violent riots in Paris as they wander and live their lives on the streets, face up to bitter relationships between local communities and their own different approaches to their situations.
Image: BFI) BFI)
Filmed in a gorgeous black-and-white palette with artistic shots of its cast and harsh urban setting by cinematographer Pierre Aïm, director Mathieu Kassovitz taps into anti-police sentiment, racial divisions, and the cyclical nature of violence in French society, themes that have been powerful since and feel all the more resonant now.
Whether it is immersive aerial shots of the streets set to French rap group Assassin's track "Nique La Police" or Vinz's re-enacting Travis Bickle's mirror 'You talking to me?' speech in his bathroom, Kassovitz takes his audience with him on this brittle but often comic journey through his protagonists' lives.

The cast is also made of three fiery breakthrough performances. Vincent Cassel delivers the richest performance as the performatively bloodthirsty Vinz, who finds himself forced into a spot where he must act on his words of righteous anger.
Meanwhile, Saiid Taghmaoui delivers delicious humour and deadpan assessments as the peacemaker of the group, while Hubert Koundé delivers a haunted serenity and realism as the one most fatigued by his station in a corrupt society.

Events build to a bloody and shocking finale that has been emulated in films of similar subject matter since, including the recent Cannes favourite Les Miserables.
However, this indictment of societal injustice in the suburbs of Paris remains a landmark piece of World Cinema that has only gotten more gorgeous with his 4K re-mastering from the British Film Institute.
Verdict
La Haine remains an incendiary, insightful, and vital piece of cinema decades after its original release and remains more relevant than ever. Its lead actors, including Vincent Cassel, also deliver some of French Cinema's most memorable turns.
La Haine returns to UK cinemas for its 25th anniversary with a new 4K restoration from September 11, 2020 as part of the BFI Southbank season REDEFINING REBELLION.

An open looking Pertemps St Leger ( 3.35pm ) at Doncaster on Saturday with three protagonists very close in the betting at the top of the market and preference goes to the William Muir-trained Pyledriver ( 5/2 ) who has been a revelation this season .
When this fellow struck in a Listed heat at Haydock last year at a big price , few in the crowd would have expected him to be vying for favouritism in a Classic the following term , but to be fair to his canny trainer , he always maintained that this horse would win @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t happen , but William will have been happy enough when his charge belied odds of 18-1 to land the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot in June and then a line can be put through his effort in the Derby as he had zero chance after being hampered after three furlongs .
The Harbour Watch colt made amends in no uncertain terms when going in again at double figure odds on his last start in the Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes at York ’ s Ebor Meeting last month , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ field by three and a half lengths .
The Voltigeur is probably considered ‘ the trial ’ for the Leger and while it ’ s possible he might not stay the additional two and a half furlongs , he certainly didn ’ t seem to be stopping at the end on the Knavesmire and he travels to Town Moor with every chance of providing Muir , one of the great enthusiasts of the game , with a first Classic success .
A lovely card at ‘ Donny ’ also features the Group 2 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( 9/5 ) provides Richard Hannon Junior a great shout of equalling his ‘ old man ’ Senior ’ s three victories in this important two-year-old event .
The selection was last seen when readily scooping a Listed race at Ascot in July and the runner-up Cobh has since won at the same level , third-placed Naval Crown hacked up in one of the most valuable maidens of the season and Saint Lawrence , fourth , has also gone on to Listed glory .
So , the form is working out beautifully and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scorer .
Victory here would put him in the frame for a tilt at Britain ’ s principle juvenile race the Dewhurst Stakes .
Plenty of Saturdays get billed as ‘ Super Saturday ’ but that looks a genuine description this time with two top-class races from Ireland also on ITV , including the Irish Champion Stakes ( 4.10pm ) at Leopardstown which can go the way of arguably the world ’ s best horse Ghaiyyath ( 4/7 ) .
The fancy is officially rated at least 6lb ahead of all five rivals @ @ @ @ @ @ @ betting , Japan , was no match for him last time they met in the Eclipse when winner Ghaiyyath powered home up the Esher slope with Japan two and a half lengths adrift .
The selection also beat champion trainer Aidan O ’ Brien ’ s other major contender Magical three lengths last time in the Juddmonte and Leopardstown should suit his front-running .

Follow this advice for the weekend's biggest races and you could be a winner
An open looking Pertemps St Leger (3.35pm) at Doncaster on Saturday with three protagonists very close in the betting at the top of the market and preference goes to the William Muir-trained Pyledriver (5/2) who has been a revelation this season.
When this fellow struck in a Listed heat at Haydock last year at a big price, few in the crowd would have expected him to be vying for favouritism in a Classic the following term, but to be fair to his canny trainer, he always maintained that this horse would win the Irish 2,000 Guineas.
That didn’t happen, but William will have been happy enough when his charge belied odds of 18-1 to land the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot in June and then a line can be put through his effort in the Derby as he had zero chance after being hampered after three furlongs.
The Harbour Watch colt made amends in no uncertain terms when going in again at double figure odds on his last start in the Sky Bet Great Voltigeur Stakes at York’s Ebor Meeting last month, when he comfortably disposed of a high-class field by three and a half lengths.
The Voltigeur is probably considered ‘the trial’ for the Leger and while it’s possible he might not stay the additional two and a half furlongs, he certainly didn’t seem to be stopping at the end on the Knavesmire and he travels to Town Moor with every chance of providing Muir, one of the great enthusiasts of the game, with a first Classic success.
A lovely card at ‘Donny’ also features the Group 2 Champagne Stakes (1.50pm) and Chindit (9/5) provides Richard Hannon Junior a great shout of equalling his ‘old man’ Senior’s three victories in this important two-year-old event.
The selection was last seen when readily scooping a Listed race at Ascot in July and the runner-up Cobh has since won at the same level, third-placed Naval Crown hacked up in one of the most valuable maidens of the season and Saint Lawrence, fourth, has also gone on to Listed glory.
So, the form is working out beautifully and he is already a course and distance scorer. Victory here would put him in the frame for a tilt at Britain’s principle juvenile race the Dewhurst Stakes.
