Mathieu Kassovitz

"HATE, even if it's making money. is an underground movie, that's how it was made. It's a film about police brutality in the largest sense, it's about the whole of society and not just about the hood."

"Your water is in the bottles, and my water is in the bucket, but we are brothers? I am collecting garbage, and you are in the bed, but we are sisters? My fingers are broken, and your hands are so soft, but we are family? Your God is like an angel, and my God is like an evil, but we are equal? My stomach is empty, and your stomach is so big, but we are humans?"

Society

Quote_1.png
Mathieu Kassovitz
"In France they spend six months training policemen, then they give them a gun and put them on the streets, and I don't know that that's enough. The film's not against the police - although I think that if someone wants to be a cop there's got to be a problem."

Film

Quote_1.png
Mathieu Kassovitz
"I have a hard enough time speaking for myself - I don't pretend I can be a spokesman for anybody. I have no interest in playing that role."

Time

Quote_1.png
Mathieu Kassovitz
"It's good that they've seen it, but how can I be satisfied after working for two years making a film which I hope will make a difference, when the government sees the film and does nothing about it?"

Government

Quote_1.png
Mathieu Kassovitz
"Well, a special screening was set up for government officials, so they didn't have to see the experience of going to see the film. They certainly aren't going to the projects to see for themselves the situation."

Experience

Quote_1.png
Mathieu Kassovitz
"Like anywhere, we had to make people understand that we were there with good intentions, and that we were there with respect. We started making contacts with the people in the neighborhood three months before shooting began, so that everyone involved was comfortable."

People

Mathieu Kassovitz
"Hood films now are made by studios and have nothing to do with the reality they supposedly represent."

Nothing

Quote_1.png
Mathieu Kassovitz
"We made it known that we were trying to show the reality of France. People think of Paris as the city of love or the city of light, but where you got love you got hate, where you got light you got darkness."

Love
