The police car, another staple of the banlieue, hangs irreverently overhead as a colourful piñata. Newly minted signifiers populate the show, conjuring (and celebrating) the culture of the banlieues: a set of Monobloc chairs, possibly the most common type of urban furniture, have been covered in concrete by Ismail Alaoui Fdili to evoke time spent trapped in the brutalist environment, where waiting has become something of a sport notably for local ‘cop watchers’. As a training exercise, the students worked for two months with the institution to produce a full-blown exhibition – of works ranging from largescale installations to minute drawings, from photography and short films to paintings – that engages with the energy running through both La Haine and Les Misérables while offering a new, complex portrait of the banlieues.
LA HAINE SO FAR SO GOOD FREE
Testimony to that is the incursion of those realities into the confines of the artworld: at the end of August, endless queues formed outside the Palais de Tokyo in Paris to see the exhibition Jusqu’ici tout va bien, titled in reference to Cassel’s line in La Haine and featuring work by students of the École Kourtrajmé, a free alternative art and moving-image school founded by Ly in 2018. Yet at the heart of Ly’s film is a drone owned by one of the kids living in the estates that captures a police blunder on video, offering hope that the officers will be held accountable and signalling perhaps one thing that has changed (beyond the fact that, unlike Kassovitz, Ly is actually from the banlieues): the widespread access to image technology and representation, and its potential to check abuses of power.

What happens in between is like a slow-motion car crash, revealing the failures of a society to look after all its citizens and of a dead-end system in which both the Jean Valjeans and Javerts inevitably lose out. A modern retelling of Victor Hugo’s greatest tragedy, the film opens with ‘republican’ scenes of crowds from all backgrounds waving the tricolour flag and singing La Marseillaise following France’s victory in the 2018 World Cup, and closes to blazing shots of an escalating confrontation between young banlieusards and police forces. It’s how you land.” If the film landed pretty well, garnering international acclaim, the society it depicted did not: ten years later the banlieues exploded in some of the country’s biggest and most violent riots.Ī quarter-century since La Haine, the banlieues are still on their way down: Les Misérables, a 2019 film by Ladj Ly that won the Jury Prize at Cannes and then four Césars, including Best Picture, was a punch-in-the-face reminder that nothing has changed. “It’s about a society on its way down,” says one of the film’s characters, played by a young Vincent Cassel, “and as it falls, it keeps telling itself: ‘So far, so good… So far, so good… So far, so good.’ It’s not how you fall that matters. In 1995 Mathieu Kassovitz released La Haine in French cinemas, awakening audiences to life in the banlieues of Paris by portraying the violence and alienation fostered in what were once visions of utopian living but had become social-housing ghettos.
