Critic Reviews
La Haine (1995) Review: A Countdown in Black and White
★★★★½
La Haine follows three young friends through one tense day in a Paris banlieue after a riot. Mathieu Kassovitz's black-and-white drama has lost none of its charge.
Yes. It is one of the most urgent films of the 1990s, gripping, funny and furious, and essential for anyone interested in police violence and exclusion in modern cities.
