La Haine - Zavvi Exclusive Limited Edition Steelbook (Ultra Limited Print Run)

Zavvi - The Home of Pop CultureZavvi Exclusive Limited Edition Steelbook Ultra Limited Print Run. Limited to 2000 Copies.Inspired by cinematic classics including Mean Streets, Do the Right Thing and The Battle of Algiers, Mathieu Kassovitz's La Haine is arguably the most incendiary, provocative and prescient film to emerge from the 90's.Starkly shot in black and white to show a Paris not on any tourist map, the film deals with France's intolerance towards outsiders, following Vinz (Vincent Cassel, Irreversible, Oceans 12), Hubert (the magnificent Hubert Kounde) and Said (Said Taghmaoui, Hideous Kinky, Three Kings), three young men trapped in the Parisian economic, ethnic and social underclass.Sensationally premiered at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival, La Haine saw Kassovitz rewarded with the Best Director prize and subsequently went on to win three Cesars (including Best Film). Marked by its unapologetic brutality and verite style, La Haine acted as a compelling wake up call to Europe.
