* NextStallShenanigans: The three main characters are on the run from the police and hide in a bathroom, where they make a phone call and squabble about Vinz's attempt to kill a police officer in the previous scene. An old Russian man emerges from a bathroom stall, having overheard everything, to tell them an allegorical anecdote about his experiences taking a dump in the Gulag. This leaves them all confused, though it has symbolic meaning for the film's larger themes.

Centering around a trio of banlieusards, the film follows them through a roughly 24 hour period from the morning after a riot, through run-ins with the police and unreliable fences, a night wandering around central Paris and back home.

''La Haine'' (English: "''Hate''") is a 1995 black and white French movie, directed by Mathieu Kassovitz and set in the modern-day slums at the north of Paris -- more precisely, in [[{{Gangsterland}} Seine-Saint-Denis]], aka "93" or "neuf-trois" from its department number. Centering around a trio of banlieusards, the film follows them through a roughly 24 hour period from the morning after a riot, through run-ins with the police and unreliable fences, a night wandering around central Paris and back home. The three main characters are Vinz (Creator/VincentCassel), a hot-headed Jew; Saïd (Creator/SaidTaghmaoui), a wisecracking graffiti artist Beur[[note]] The term Beur is slang meaning any French-born descendant of North African immigrants.[[/note]]; and Hubert (Hubert Koundé), the oldest and wisest of the three, who is black. Together, they face prejudice not just because of their races but also because, as banlieusards, they are assumed to be thugs - a reputation they find themselves earning uncomfortably often.

To be fair, it's not all cops who are corrupt in this movie. The main corrupt cops are the ones who shot the gang's friend years back, and the small group who interrogates Hubert and Sayid. The rest are mostly just trying to do their job.
