The first character we meet is Said he is framed in mid-shot and the focus is shallow.

It is has been referred to by NME as a “beautiful and blistering piece of 90s cinema”. La Haine is an expression of Kassovitz’s attitudes towards social class, economic and political ideologies and the rift between figures of authority and individuals in the deprived banlieues of Paris. ( disclaimer*spoilers all through) La Haine is a 1995 Art-house Drama film written and directed by Mathieu Kassovitz.
