New trailer for La Haine - in UK cinemas from 11 September 2020 | BFI

Mathieu Kassovitz’s provocative, compelling and landmark drama - newly restored in 4K - returns to UK cinemas from 11 September 2020 to mark the film’s 25th anniversary, followed by a Limited Edition Blu-ray in November 2020 Subscribe: Simmering hostility and prejudices boil over in Mathieu Kassovitz’s provocative and compelling portrait of a Parisian housing project. Set in the aftermath of a riot, three friends – Vinz (Vincent Cassell), Hubert (Hubert Koundè) and Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui) – trapped by their economic, ethnic and community circumstances, navigate the escalating urban discontent. But, with tensions still high and the threat of violence ever-present, the trio drift towards an increasingly dangerous destiny. Newly restored in 4K, La Haine’s scalding take on France’s social divide still carries a knockout punch. Beautifully shot in black and white by Pierre Aïm, this mid-1990s landmark remains as fresh and relevant 25 years on from its original release.
