A black-and-white 1994 French film by writer-director Mathieu Kassovitz (Cafe au Lait) about racism in the Paris suburbs. It focuses on three alienated youths—one black (Hubert Kounde), one North African (Said Taghmaoui), and one a working-class Jew (Vincent Cassel)—who go on an all-night spree after a race riot sparked by police brutality. Though some of this might seem a bit old to Americans, Kassovitz has some things of his own to say—and he says them with nuance, feeling, and authority. In French with subtitles. 96 min.

Sorry there are no showtimes for Hate (La Haine) on Sunday, November 22.
