LA HAINE 4K RESTORATION TRAILER from Janus Films on Vimeo.Parents need to know that La Haine is a superb but very violent French drama (with English subtitles) that shines a light on societal issues including police brutality, immigration, and racism. A work of tough beauty, La Haine is a landmark of contemporary French cinema and a gripping reflection of the country’s ongoing identity crisis. Aimlessly passing their days in the concrete environs of their dead-end suburbia, Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Hubert (Hubert Koundé), and Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui)-a Jew, an African, and an Arab, respectively-give human faces to France’s immigrant populations, their bristling resentment at their marginalization slowly simmering until it reaches a climactic boiling point. Mathieu Kassovitz took the film world by storm with La Haine, a gritty, unsettling, and visually explosive look at the racial and cultural volatility in modern-day France, specifically the low-income banlieue districts on Paris’ outskirts.
