Aimlessly whiling away their days in the concrete environs of their dead-end suburbia, Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Hubert (Hubert Kound?), and Sa?d (Sa?d Taghmaoui)?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 they reach 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. http://montevistaprojects.com/exhibitions/lahaine.html We are located at 5442 Monte Vista St (at Ave. 55), Los Angeles, CA 90042.
