This film is a gripping, raw, and intense look at life in the mid-90s Paris banlieues, and it still hits just as hard today. Mathieu Kassovitz crafts a world that's both dark and disturbingly real, capturing the tension, anger, and alienation felt by the characters. It’s crazy how well the film balances its gritty realism with deeper symbolism. Every frame feels loaded with meaning, and the black-and-white cinematography by Pierre Aïm just amplifies that bleak, no-hope vibe.
The whole film…
