Tartan, the film's distributor, submitted a teaser trailer to the Board in early October. As the friends negotiate the perils of an ordinary day, this gun determines the course of their lives, for good or ill. In the aftermath of a riot, Vincent Cassel's Vinz has discovered a handgun. The story follows a day in the life of three young men, each from immigrant families living in the Parisian cités (large modernist public housing complexes that encircle the city centre).
It proved to be of political significance too: both the French President and Prime Minister contacted the director in the weeks following release, the latter to arrange a screening for government officials. Its history at the BBFC illustrates how examiners' contrasting interpretations of a film could sometimes lead them to different decisions.īy the time it reached the Board, La Haine had been well-received in its native France, where writer/director, Mathieu Kassovitz, had been named Best Director at that year's Cannes Film Festival. Hs are always silent in French and the word haine is simply pronounced like the letter N.The black-and-white urban drama La Haine (English translation, "Hate") was submitted for classification in October 1995. Hot pronunciation tip from your hosts: don't shy away from the film's title. Released in 1995 in the midst of France's "fracture sociale," the film - with its underlying themes of police brutality, racism, disenchanted youth, and social unrest - is as relevant today as it was then. To celebrate Fruit of My Past, Souag's debut exhibition at Nationale, they're honored to collaborate with the Hollywood Theatre for this special screening. They immediately chanted in unison, " Jusqu'ici tout va bien." and soon realized how impactful the film had been for them, especially how influential it had been on Souag's work. Nationale's curator May Barruel and artist Salomée Souag were recently discussing their upbringing on opposite sides of the Franco-Swiss border when LA HAINE came up. Their bristling resentment at their own marginalization slowly simmers until it reaches a climactic boiling point. The film follows three friends, Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui) and Hubert (Hubert Koundé), for 24 hours after the riots.
When a young man named Abdel is arrested and beaten unconscious by police, a riot erupts in the housing projects outside of Paris. Nationale and Salomée Souag present Mathieu Kassovitz' 1995 cult film.
