LA HAINE (1995) — Free screening presented by MICA Project

“★★★★★ – Radiates with rage and comedy… La Haine is an unmissable response to an unending emergency.” – The Guardian
Mathieu Kassovitz took the film world by storm with La Haine, a gritty, unsettling, and visually explosive look at the racial and cultural volatility in modern-day France, specifically the low-income banlieue districts on Paris’s outskirts. Aimlessly passing their days in the concrete environs of their dead-end suburbia, Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Hubert (Hubert Koundé), and Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui)—Jewish, African, and Arab, respectively—give human faces to France’s immigrant populations, their bristling resentment at their marginalization slowly simmering until it reaches a climactic boiling point. A work of tough beauty, La Haine is a landmark of 1990s French cinema and a gripping reflection of its country’s ongoing identity crisis.
This 100% FREE screening is presented by the Migrant and Immigrant Community Action Project (MICA Project), who will introduce the screening. No ticket required. Seats are first come, first served.
