Trouble 

Today's film looks at the volatile melting pot of a city's slums or what we call "projects".

It is still the same thing. Whatever it is called. It engenders a kind of hate against society that is so visceral and fundamental that nothing can stand in its way.

La Haine / Hate (1995)

stars three young men. One black, one arabic and the other plain old french white trash.

A volatile mix that takes them through the City all in one night. What happens is the "moral" of the film.

It is pretty violent. Stay away if you don't like the rough stuff.

On the other hand, the young men, are really great ensemblé and as drivers of the plot or story whatever there is to it.

One thing leads to the other. The cops are involved. Nothing sticks so the young men rove on and on and on.

The trailer says that it is "stylized realism. The trailer is almost as good as the movie!

This was the breakout film for Vincent Cassel. He is riveting. And scary.

I have seen it before and am likely to see it again, so it is a 5 out of Netflix5.
