La Haine (1995)
An original 1995 U.S. one sheet poster for La Haine (Hate), Mathieu Kassovitz’s groundbreaking black & white drama starring Vincent Cassel, Saïd Taghmaoui, and Hubert Koundé. Featuring the striking close-up of Cassel’s intense gaze with the bold red title HATE, this design perfectly captures the film’s raw emotion and urgency.
La Haine is widely regarded as one of the most important European films of the 1990s, a searing social commentary on urban alienation, police brutality, and the volatility of youth in the Parisian banlieues. Shot in stark monochrome and driven by a sense of immediacy and realism, Kassovitz’s film gave a voice to marginalised communities rarely seen on screen.
The film won Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival and became a cultural touchstone, influencing a generation of filmmakers and sparking global conversations about inequality and systemic violence. Its famous line “So far, so good…” remains chillingly relevant today.
This original U.S. poster, produced when Jodie Foster’s Egg Pictures presented the film to American audiences, is a highly collectible piece representing a milestone in modern cinema.
When a young Arab 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.
