Episode: La Haine (transl. - Hatred) - Police brutality, Race, and Revenge
Description: After a young man from an impoverished neighbourhood is severely wounded in an act of police violence, people are on the edge. Protests wreak havoc and the threat of further violence is palpable. Against this grim backdrop, three young men question their place in the conflict and the world, even as one of them flirts with the idea of revenge.
Mathieu Kassovitz's French crime drama from 1995, La Haine, is this week's Sunken Treasure. We discuss conflicts of social class, the imagery that makes this film stand out, and randomly enough, the 'dolly zoom'.
