La Haine – 30th Anniversary (15)
Mathieu Kassovitz’s sensational second feature as a director changed the cultural landscape of French cinema when it landed at the Cannes Film Festival in 1995, winning the Best Director prize.
It went on to become one of the defining films of its generation and a stone cold classic of Nineties cinema.
The film takes place over 24 hours following the police shooting of a young man from a deprived housing estate and shows the world through the eyes of three friends who are frustrated with politicians, the media and police brutality.
La Haine is back in selected cinemas in stunning 4K restoration to celebrate its 30th anniversary.
