Episode 739: La Haine (1995)

Tension simmers in La Haine (1995), Matthieu Kassovitz’s electrifying portrait of disenfranchised youth in the Parisian banlieues. Mike is joined by guest co-hosts Lumi Etienne and Judith Mayne for a deep dive into the film’s kinetic black-and-white visuals, pulsing energy, and unflinching look at police violence, social unrest, and alienation.

Over the course of a single 24-hour span, we follow Vinz, Saïd, and Hubert—three friends caught in a spiral of rage, hopelessness, and reaction to systemic oppression.

Special guest Ginette Vincendeau, renowned scholar of French cinema, offers historical and cultural insights into the film’s legacy, its groundbreaking release in 1995, and why La Haine remains tragically relevant in today’s global conversations about race, inequality, and law enforcement.
