Un grupo de habitantes de un barrio marginal de los alrededores de París, sin más problema que el despertarse una mañana en estado de sitio. Los jóvenes del barrio de les Muguets han pasado toda la noche luchando contra la policía. ¿Por qué? Porque un chaval de 16 años, Abdel Ichah, se encuentra a las puertas de la muerte después de haber sido brutalmente golpeado durante un interrogatorio en la comisaría de policía. Un caso más de brutalidad policial, y por tanto, una revuelta más. Entre estos jóvenes, ciegos de Odio hacia el sistema, se encuentran tres: Hubert, Saïd y Vinz. Juntos vivirán el día más importante de toda su vida. 24 horas en la vida de los suburbios y los jóvenes que viven en ellos. 24 horas para encontrar una solución contra el odio que guardan ambas partes hacia el otro bando. Porque si matar a un poli con su propia arma no es la solución...¿cuál es? (Universal Pictures España)

I've perhaps never experienced such anticipation for every new shot in a movie. Where they're going to put the camera this time, where the shot is going to come from, where it's going to take us. Every image, the layout of the characters in it, their body language, the setting of it in the real Paris and its suburbs, all create a strangely magical-realistic microcosm. This, unlike most French social dramas, is not altogether binary and yet has such a sympathetic childlike playfulness to it, reflected in the behavior and aimlessness of the actions of most of those involved. We don't know anyone’s backstory here, unless we project one onto them by virtue of their being an Arab, a Jew, a black man, or a cop. At the same time, the film constantly feels like a game where all the players know the rules, where Paris is a giant playing field where they all pretty much out of boredom just shove each other, double-cross each other, and chase each other between buildings, then they patch everything up again until someone breaks the code and a gun ends up in the hands of someone it shouldn't. Jusqu'ici tout va bien

Le monde est à vous. The protagonists don’t dwell on whether it’s just another day among thousands or the final one in a series. Instead, the viewer, with their vantage point from the outside, has the advantage of focusing on the causes that lead to the consequences. It’s pure urban cinema, a genre that French filmmakers have been unsuccessfully chasing in recent years. The final shot—or rather, the final sound—might leave you in suspense, but the spiral of hatred cares little about who is involved. What matters is its relentless acceleration. Le monde est à nous.

A French suburb, racial issues, riots, street fights and protests, black and white handheld camera. Hate may have ambitions to offer a complex viewpoint like, for instance, In the Name of the Father in the UK, but in the process the viewer finds that it actually skims the surface and remains merely shocking, without a broader dimension, like, for instance, Romper Stomper. It's not that the theme and its handling have no value or meaning, but one day of assholes fooling around in a concrete jungle with a few raw moments does not a legend make.
