I Do, Mathieu, I Do

 
That wonderful photo there (via) is a swell reminder to me and now to every single one of you that 1) we should all look so good at 53, and 2) actor, director and beautiful 53-year-old person Mathieu Kassovitz's 1995 masterpiece La Haine is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and there will be a brand new 4K restoration of the film opening here in NYC next week, on October 8th at BAM's virtual cinema. Pretty sure anybody anywhere can rent that sort of thing (well anybody anywhere in the United States of America, anyway) so I recommend you do just that! Don't make me sic Vincent Cassel on your asses...

Is that movie any good? It always looked like such a bro movie to me.

I haven't seen it in a dozen years but yes, as I recall it is very very good

Just watched the film in the cinema for the first time last night. A really great film that felt like a blend between The French New Wave and Roma with its mixture of playfulness, cinema verite and social critiques.
