Synopsis

The shortly after riots in the city of the Lilies of the valley, three young friends Vinz, Saïd and Hubert, which trail their trouble and their frustrations, will live the most important day of their life, because today, they are not any more three but four.

Analyzes

The film puts in scene the life of young people of suburbs around hatred for the gripping forces of the order, which was at the origin of a debate of opinions concerning its influence, as a cinematographic work, on the company.

The context related to the exit of this film made following fifteen years of increasing disturbances in the peripheral urban areas, which considerably shocked the opinion and modified its perception. The death of Malik Oussekine is quoted in film also.

The film was made color, but put in black and white at the assembly. In the event of nonsuccess, it would have left color. The scenario with the structure of a Tragedy where certain protagonists die at the end; two characteristics which give a traditional leg on a subject which usually is relegated to the television news. The cutting of the scenes which posts the hour of the day contributes to the overall dramatic intensity, and suggests the impression which these people never are left in peace whatever the hour of the day.

Moreover, each character represents a religious minority or ethnic French company: a Jew, a Maghrebian and a black. The friendship of the trio is federator and symbolizes the subject of film: the condition of the people relegated in the Cité S is comparable.

Cutting in three movements structure also dramatic evolution: expository scenes of the city in stagnation, the shortly after one night of violence, followed by one sleepless night to the center of Paris where the trio is confronted with various situations bringing it to the perception of the contempt. The third part is a outcome going in the direction of this gradual descent, justifying its inexorable aspect.

The federator element throughout film relates to the postures of the character of Vinz, with psychology comparable with Travis in Taxi Driver, comparison which it fascine at the point of rejouer the anthological scene of the caïd which tests its expressions of hardness vis-a-vis the mirror of its bathroom: " It is with me that you speak? " The two friends of Vinz will try with the wire of the scenes to reason it vis-a-vis contradictions, calling with the blind revenge, which cross it. Vinz will manage to surmount them in the small hour. But the succession of the events will be strongest.

The counterpart " It is it Malayan of the banlieues" pronounced by the director of the gallery once the door closed following the departure of our three protagonists in general underlines it Malayan of the company which it also their farm his doors.

The film gives reason neither to the protagonist nor with the police force. It shows how the spiral of hatred settles.

This film was drawn from a history which arised in the district of the Fir trees in Rouen. Though the reduction of the life of the young people in suburbs to their opposition to the police officers is a simplifying interpretation of film, this last is one of rare to give a point of view “on other side of the mirror” with respect to the preconceived ideas generally convoyed around this situation: exclusion, failure of the urban policies, larval racism.

In this direction, the film is precursory, and one of rare in France to make a divergent matter of the Doctrinaire approach   ; its attitude can be compared with a cinema such as that of Ken Loach, almost non-existent in France.

Comments

Hatred can be interpreted like a report in black and white which puts in action without real scenario the daily newspaper of three buddies at the drift whose challenge is the management of a time without any impact of responsibilities.

Their contacts interior or external to the city are based on a verbal aggressive demonstration adapted to more or less absurd situations (flight of merguez). They reign by the word constantly désobligeante towards themselves and on a so different environment which it represents another planet that one dominates by the language ordurier.

One can exist only in front of his ice, elsewhere all is blocked. These years of crises passed in Autarcie manufactured a youth left for account which is expressed only by virility and the energy wasted in transactions exhausting and useless domination.

This fracture with the other world is dramatic. The economic Sélection put at the wall cupboard all these young people who, for lack of framings at the convenient period, regressed little by little towards a primary education state that they use like a force.

The company well thinking, the head in the bag leaves the authority by the means of the police force in découdre with the Délinquance. The two camps handled by the Clear conscience far away from the conflicts clash fault of solutions.

These three buddies representative of a new structure, “the Fourth World” are sympathetic nerves, they are funny by their expressions and their mimicry. They exist by excess, only element where one can still notice them.

Trotting itself in the life, they transport by their behaviors the failure of an insertion come in the world following the abandonment from the leading Classes which did not know to safeguard these spirits in a carrying Economic context.

The crisis of the suburbs made it possible this film Pamphlet to denounce a total responsibility, the indifference.
