“I first saw La Haine in high school because my French teacher wanted to show us the slang of the Paris youth growing up in the banlieues. It’s a slice of life among friends of similar misfortune, each grappling with the tribulations of urban society at the hands of unfit authority. The audiovisual experience of this film really brings the dark themes to light, it’s a monochrome masterpiece!” - Roya
