La Haine jusqu'ici tout va bien | Special edition

In the fall of 1994, Gilles Favier is a free-lance photographer around the filming of the movie La Haine. Requested a few weeks before by Mathieu Kassovitz, he came to document the setting of the film. Sensing the format of the shoot, and in particular the recruitment of the neighborhood's inhabitants as extras, he returned every day of the eight weeks of filming, to photograph the shoot and its reception.

In May 1995, the film was released and reached number one at the box office, with over 2 million admissions.

Twenty-five years later, at the request of Mathieu Kassovitz, Gilles Favier exhumes his 220 rolls of photographic film. Vincent Perrottet has used them to compose an anniversary book of a film that is not yet a quarter of a century old and resonates with current events every day.

HUBERT – Do you know the story of the man who fell from a fifty-story building ? On each floor, as he fell, he kept repeating to himself, " So far so good, so far so good, so far so good ..."

VINZ- I knew her, but with a rabbi.

HUBERT – The problem when you fall isn't the fall, it's the landing... It's like us in here, for now, everything's fine...
