La Haine

[Scratchy Bollock]

Excellent film. It's just been re-released in certain cinemas so everyone should go and see this if they haven't already.

Vincent Cassel is superb.

Anyone else rate this film?

[sandman]

It is a fantastic film. One of the best films to have come out of France in years.

How old is it now?

[unspec]

Very good, nickf got me to see it when it first came out.

I'm rather glad as it was a quality film.

[Despin]

Hey there.

I recently saw this for the first time. Loved it. Very powerfull movie. It's funny, it's shocking, it's showing a world you don;t normaly hear anything about. It's great.

That shot with Cassel doing the Taxi Driver impression in the mirror is a fantastic bit of trickery.

I have to be honest.. I'm a much bigger fan of Junet's fantasy version of france and the story he tell there.

But for a slice of scary realism I think La Hain or HATE was The City of God before The City of God.

It was released in 95 by the way.

Despin out.

Shame Matthieu Kassovitz hasn't really done anything of note since.

My favourite bit is the scratching sequence, but it's been years since I saw it. Isn't it "Sound of the police" that he's cutting up?

[Despin]

Hey there.

"Shame Matthieu Kassovitz hasn't really done anything of note since"

He made the amazing look Crimson Rivers and he recently directed Gothika with Hale Berry.

And as an actor he been in Amelie and Birthday Girl with Nicole Kidman.

Despin out.

THE CITY IS ATTACKING THEM!!!111

No, wait - it's just the biggest Hitchcock zoom EVAR.

[Stroker Ace]

Yes, great flick.

[Daimond D]

Shit is crazy dope, yo'...or something...as we say in Hip Hop land.

Excellent film, excellent soundtrack. Thumbs up from me.

Is the re-released version in the cinemas different in anyway? I've been planning to get the original version for a tenner from my local Fopp.

It's worth looking out which version you get. I once borrowed a version which had white subtitles with no surround. There's a scene in a park where the bottom of the screen is completely white. I still have no idea what happened in this scene because the subs were totally unreadable.

[Scratchy Bollock]

The re-released version has new subtitles. I'm not sure what other differences there are.

[Badger]

Haven't seen this in years, but I remember being impressed with it....

man bites dog isnt french

[Zeroborta]

I absolutely love this movie.

The soundtrack is ace (check out Dj Cut Killer/a Agression Verbale, Le Conaisseur folks).

Also great cinematics(sp?).....my favourite scenes include the aforementioned, scratching scene and Robert Kounde's coc session with "That Loving Feeling" (Isaac Hayes) in the background.

Thank fuck. Now all we need is a non-Americanised translation and we're set.

[Sng]

Watched this the other day. Well good, surprised more here aren't into it.

Only annoying this was the subs are a tad hard to follow in places, like it's been said about, especially when there are two conversations going on at once. Which happened once or twice.

Bloody good though.

[Calashnikov]

Yeah, I love this film. That floaty cam flying out of the DJ's window as he cuts fuck out of 'Fuck The Police,' looking all over the banlieue

Also, the Batman joke. Yes!

[Sng]

Innit! That's the scene I saw on Youtube that convinced me to watch it -

EDIT: The DJ scene not the nun scene. Although that was a

brilliant way of loosening you up before the shocking end.

[idiwa]

Not watched this for years and picked it up on DVD a few months back. Seen it at the cinema twice though Think my favourite scene (apart from the Cut Killer flyover) is Hubert boxing in slow motion, just looks fantastic. Must bust my chops to watch it this weekend.

[Shepperton]

One of my fave this, knew nothing about it and caught it on TV one night.
