Aimlessly whiling away their days in the concrete environs of their dead-end suburbia, Vinz, Hubert, and Said--a Jew, an African, and an Arab--give human faces to France's immigrant populations, their bristling resentment at their social marginalization slowly simmering until it reaches a climactic boiling point. A work of tough beauty, La Haine is a landmark of contemporary French cinema and a gripping reflection of its country's ongoing identity crisis.
