This week, Crit Club returns to our home away from home: France. We watched the 1995 crime drama La Haine, which follows three young men from the Parisian slums in the day after an explosive riot that landed one of their friends in the hospital. La Haine deals with the ongoing issues of French xenophobia, police brutality, and the choices left for those trying to survive on the fringes. Come listen to our thoughts on this gripping movie!

And come back next week for a Peter pick! He’s celebrating Pride month with the 1991 coming of age queer drama Young Soul Rebels. Watch along!

You can follow the whole of our podcast, aided by ⁠this helpful spreadsheet⁠ which documents all the scores we gave to the movies we have watched.
