The story behind the surprise success of a young crews film of alienation and rebellionReleased in 1995, La Haine is a raw, edgy drama about three mixedrace young men from a rundown Parisian suburb who decide to take on the police after a friend is brutally beaten. The work of a then unknown young team (director and actors were all under 30), it became hugely and unexpectedly successful both commercially and critically, launching director Mathieu Kassovitz and lead player Vincent Cassel to stardom. The films combination of hardhitting social expos, stylish black and white cinematography and hiphop culture also turned it into an enduring cult movie with younger viewers.With style and insight, Ginette Vincendeau provides a thorough understanding of the context of the films making, both in terms of the film industry and of French society, of the films narrative tension, stylistic sophistication and ideological ambiguity, and of its extraordinary success nationally and internationally. She explains why, out of so many films about disaffected youth, La Haine is the one that caught the audiences imagination, becoming an instant classic.
