La Haine, 1995 - ★★★★★


With a live score by Asian Dub Foundation.


If nothing else, the loudness of Asian Dub Foundation added a lot to the experience. When their music kicked in it took the whole film to another level and the subtitles meant it wasn't an issue drowning out the dialogue.


I've seen the film before but couldn't remember much about it which seems shocking now because it's so good. It's twenty years old but still feels so fresh and inventive and reminded me what an exciting time the mid nineties were for cinema.


I want to see the original version to see how much ADF added, I have a feeling that their soundtrack made quite a big difference elevating the film to level of greatness it previously only touched on.
