La Haine

La Haine (Hate) is a black-and-white French film about 3 male youths living on a housing estate in Paris in the aftermath of riots. It didn't ring true to me. I wasn't convinced. There were patches that were better, but not much. The ending looked like it was going to be reasonable and then it went for a dumb option instead.

Of course, it might have just gone over my head. What do I know. At least it was short.

PS I saw this on Blu-ray; it is black and white and only 94 minutes long; so there was plenty of space on the disc for some extras... but there's not a single thing. Is that mean, or lazy, or both?
