FILM: Watch as Matthieu Kassovitz tries to convince his audience that Parisians are tough and/or gritty. Chortle. But for reals, his acclaimed 1995 masterpiece, La Haine ("Hate"), presents racism and France's identify crisis from within the banlieu of Paris. It's in black and white, so you know it's serious business.
