La Haine premieres at Cinema Troisi in a restored 4K version with director Mathieu Kassovitz!

23 April 2024

On Thursday, May 2nd, and Friday, May 3rd, La Haine makes its absolute premiere at Cinema Troisi in Rome in a restored 4K version. The director, Mathieu Kassovitz, will present the film in person on both evenings!

Minerva Pictures and Rarovideo Channel, in collaboration with Cat People, are bringing La Haine (1995) by Mathieu Kassovitz back to the big screen, thirty years later, in an exclusive 4K restored version. Starring Vincent Cassel, Hubert Kounde, and Saïd Taghmaoui, this film is a true intergenerational cult classic and won the Palme d’Or for Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival in 1995. The film uniquely portrays urban life in major cities, focusing on twenty-four hours in the lives of three protagonists with seemingly irreconcilable personalities who must navigate the challenges of a complex and suffocating social context, which remains relevant even thirty years later. Right from the start, La Haine established itself as a seminal work in contemporary and Italian hip-hop culture.

Ahead of its theatrical release starting May 13th (theater listings coming soon on www.catpeople.it), don’t miss the opportunity to rediscover La Haine in its absolute premiere at Cinema Troisi in Rome, with three dedicated screenings and two special guests: director Mathieu Kassovitz and the music group Colle der Fomento!

Minerva Pictures and Rarovideo bring Mathieu Kassovitz’s ‘La Haine’ back to cinemas in a restored 4K version!

11 April 2024

Minerva Pictures and Rarovideo, in collaboration with Cat People Distribuzione, bring Mathieu Kassovitz‘s La Haine back to the big screen in a restored 4K version, thirty years after its original release. Starring Vincent Cassel, Hubert Koundé, and Saïd Taghmaoui, the film won the Palme d’Or for Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival in 1995. It explores urban life in major cities through the intense twenty-four hours in the lives of three friends with seemingly irreconcilable personalities, as they confront the challenges of a complex and suffocating social environment that remains relevant three decades later. From the outset, “La Haine” became a cross-generational cult phenomenon, pivotal to the contemporary and Italian hip-hop culture.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Rarovideo, the digital editorial division of Minerva Pictures, known for its presence on Prime Video and The Film Club. The restoration of La Haine is just one of many initiatives celebrating this milestone.

Twenty-four hours in the lives of Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Hubert (Hubert Koundé), and Saïd (Saïd Taghmaoui), three friends from the Parisian banlieue who face the aftermath of clashes between law enforcement and civilians, which leave a neighborhood boy, Abdel, critically injured due to police brutality. Armed with anger and a gun, the three contemplate how to achieve justice.

The list of theaters that will start showing La Haine from May 13th can be found on www.catpeople.it.
