The three, full of anger and with a gun in their hands, ponder how have justice.
An emblematic, universal film, and cool
Between very personal desires for revenge and surreal encounters, tracing the blurred contours of justice and exploring the contradictions of its protagonists, Hate has become the point of reference for the metropolitan imagination since its release, an instant classic in terms of themes and style. Mathieu Kassovitz has in fact captured the essence of social imbalances by transforming it into a story continually oscillating between objectivity and symbolism, creating an emblematic and universal film. Vinz’s anger, Hubert’s reflexivity and Saïd’s buffoonery guide us into a microcosm without heroes and myths, in which the daily life of outskirts (in the original language almost the entire film is in slang) and an anger ready to explode at any moment, divided between bewilderment and vendetta, in a story continually oscillating between objectivity and symbolism. Traversing the blurred contours of justice and exploring the contradictions of its protagonists, Mathieu Kassovitz has in fact captured the essence of social imbalances, transforming it and creating an emblematic and universal film, at the same time raw and cooldirty and refined.
