Viewing Notes
A really strong film that I think clearly takes the position of “fuck the police”. The depiction of the rebellious youth, despite their aimlessness and anger, is far more sympathetic than the police. The youth are racially diverse and mostly likable and funny. The police, on the other hand, with a couple of exceptions, are portrayed as scary, violent, and racist
It’s visually stylish and the stark B&W photography is excellent. Also interesting seeing the influence of American culture on the youth with Vincent Cassel even doing a quick Travis Bickle imitation that’s hilarious.
