How you fall doesn’t matter. It’s how you land.

“Have you heard about the guy who fell off a skyscraper? On his way down he kept saying: so far so good, so far so good, so far so good. But how you fall doesn’t matter, it’s how you land.”

One of my favourite film from France. It get’s better and better with each viewing. La Haine is bold, fearless, charismatic film-making at its best and a testament to excellence of French cinema. It holds a strong political message and keeps being important – 17 years later – it still remains a relevant film. La Haine is such a film. It’s absolutely fantastic, and you will not regret watching it. It’s ability to be so relevant to our times, particularly after all the riots is amazing. A beautiful, hilariously, frustrating film about falling, and and the harm that comes with landing. One of the best films I’ve ever seen.
