La Haine presents a state of affairs of the alienation faced by many young people living in the projects. It's accurate, gritty, and does a great job neither glamorizing or patronizes he characters in any way. They hate their life because it's boring, and despite the society that's created it for them, together with parks, football fields and a few mod cons with which to comfort them. In particular, they hate the police, who hate them right back. It's a story of divide, and brings forward a message that is clear and direct; hate simply breeds more hate, and it's only a downward spiral from there. 8.7/10.
