Saïd is an Arab, Hubert is black, and Vinz is a Jew, all of them young, unemployed and living in a dreary, troubled Paris suburb, largely inhabited by poor immigrant families. Each of them needs to vent the anger they feel about the police brutality that landed another friend in the hospital. The film focuses on one day in the lives of these three hoodlum friends and the result is a brutal, harrowing study of the cyclical nature of violence.
DVD, NTSC, region 1.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

looks familiar.. depressing B&W movie about hoodlums in a high-crime Paris slum submitted by Tassos on April 2, 2023, 2:57pm I am sure no tourist would want to visit those clowns and their run-down suburb.

A worthless movie about worthless thugs.

It's not how you fall, it's what happens when you land submitted by answer-beat on April 27, 2023, 7:02pm I usually don't go for movies like this so I understand if it's not for everyone, it is violent and depressing. But it's also a beautifully shot and designed movie, and I think there's some genuine heart to the actors' performances. I think dismissing the characters as "worthless thugs" says more about one's privileged perspective of the world than it does about the quality of this movie. Basically anyone who dislikes this movie is a cop
