Onyx Downtown Presents Hate (La Haine)

Sunday, February 23 @ 7:00 PM

NEVADA THEATRE

Join us for our Cult ‘95 retrospective as we revisit some of the greatest cult films of 1995, 30 years later! A film positively bursting at the seams with raw energy and emotion, LA HAINE is as timely today as it was three decades ago. When a young Arab man is arrested and beaten unconscious by police, a riot erupts in the notoriously violent suburbs outside of Paris. Three of the victim’s peers, Vinz (Vincent Cassel), Said (Said Taghmaoui) and Hubert (Hubert Koundé), wander aimlessly about their home turf in the aftermath of the violence as they try to come to grips with their outrage over the brutal incident. After one of the men finds a police officer’s discarded weapon, their night seems poised to take a bleak turn.
