🎬 La Haine (1995, Mathieu Kassovitz)

Shot entirely in stark black and white, this film uses monochrome as a statement, not a gimmick. The absence of color sharpens contrast, tension, and emotion, turning the banlieues into a timeless landscape of anger, silence, and inevitability. Black and white becomes the film’s moral language.

Michael Mann on his masterpiece, Heat, as it turns 30 (really?? Gods, I'm old ...) https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/dec/25/michael-mann-heat-al-pacino-robert-de-niro

Still one of my all-time top-ten movies. That cast, that cinematography, that soundtrack...

This evening's viewing, a blast from the past, early Bruce Willis comedy-crime caper Hudson Hawk. It has a "troubled" history, lots of problems, but also some daft fun moments, Danny Aiello, a bonkers Hugh Grant, & Andie McDowell as a spy-nun. Haven't seen this in decades...

After considering today's Blu-ray haul from Fopp, I decided this evening's viewing would be old-school, 90s, French style over substance with early Luc Besson flick, Nikita, with Anne Parillaud in her Little Black Dress (& enormous gun).

Years since I last saw this. The uber-cool Jean Reno also makes an appearance, as does Betty Blue star, Jean-Hugues Anglade.
