La Haine

Will probably go down as one of my favourites the more I dwell on and think about it. So much to analyse in every shot, the film perfectly utilises the Chekhov's gun principle, with the gun that Vinz finds coming into play in on of the most well constructed endings ever put to screen. The black and white adds an extra layer of gritty authenticity to the whole thing, with the films meandering plot structure thinly veiling a much more deep, complex story around police violence and the systemic distrust that it creates in working class society. Strongly recommended. 5/5
