The coolest film, in just about every way. Amazing cinematography, captivating characters and style, a clear sense of place and time, and some blunt but potent themes put forward through the snappiest, quickest dialogue.

I remember watching this when I bought a Criterion copy. The movie was great. The soundtrack was amazing. Artist, Cut Killer's hip hop was just great. Especially when I turned on the DVD and saw the traditional lovely menu that Criterion makes. Then the soundtrack Cut Killer comes in. I just had to clap just at the main menu.

Having watched this at a time of ethnic unrest in Bulgaria earlier this year, La haine reminded me that these issues are most definitely not bound by time and space. Kassovitz' feature film debut is a powerful combination of life-like characters, great cinematography, and perfect direction. Also a great companion piece to Un prophète.

3 suburbanites from Paris, and oppressive and racist cops. What could possibly go wrong?

the whole situation is as absurd and yet terrifying as that very story about Grunwalski, who was frozen to death because he was too shy to shit. the movie would have been way too trivial if not the Mathieu Kassovitz's unique vision and subtle sense. the excellent actors crew, an accurate Kassovitz "story telling" that is what contributes to this movie's filling.

was the story of the man shitting while train is moving was a message to Vinz?

Brilliant, unforgiving noir-esque affair about racial tensions in Paris. Great cinematography, and the last couple of scenes are legendary.

I liked how despite the overflowing, rotten hate feeding itself from everywhere, the characters and tension built from their actions and thoughts are pure and innocent. The ending was really perfect and Kassovitz's cameo is hands-down the best director-cameo I've seen. I thought it was amazing he could give such an intimate view to an issue that is often deluded by certain horrible scales...

The scene in the bathroom with the old man telling the story has to be one of the best scenes in film history.

One of the goddamn best slabs of flawlessly paced plot and true-to-life character evocation I've seen to date, in any language. ★★★★★
