La Haine

“It's not how you fall that matters. It's how you land.” The opening music and the footage of the previous nights riots perfectly sets the tone for this film, and adds for an incredible opener. I absolutely love how the music played during the opener, coincides in the background where we first meet Said. Also later on, when the DJ is playing music on the turntable and you hear it later in the background in the next shot, beautiful.  Every single camera movement and angle is amazing, never a dull moment. This probably has the greatest cinematography ever, and I really like when the black screen with the time comes up. This is one of those films where you can’t possibly go about the rest of the day the same, matter of fact the rest of your life. It just sticks with you.
