The TVI Take
Three friends in a Paris banlieue after a police riot. Mathieu Kassovitz's debut is formally exceptional — the black-and-white photography and the 24-hour time structure are both precisely deployed.
Educational about French racism, police brutality, and the banlieue experience. The film is more relevant now than when it was made in 1995.
